QUESTION
I attended a local FL university and four people randomly accused me of being a pedophile. I got fired shortly after and was denied financial aid.

More details to this question:
The slanderous accusations have not been addressed by anyone in my community but thus far it seems this accusation started years after I was molested as a kid. No one said anything to me but in 2015-2016 it became apparent to me that Boca Raton administrators and students were accusing me specifically of what I went through as a kid. The person is a very rich evangelist who has been finally proved to be a pedophile but it seems the community in Miami that never protected me is accusing me of having the tendency or doing it. I have never been accused by any child or parent and I have no criminal record. I have no idea what they are referring to or who is accusing me. But many events that are fraudent, abusive or harassing seem to be linked to these accusations. I need to know if a lawyer can investigate the people who accused me? I would like to hold them accountable and regain what they have stolen from me already: opportunities, time, relationships, reputation and my career.

This is a classic defamation case. They are typically expensive and time consuming to address but often necesary. You will need to plan on spending a good deal of money on legal fees addressing such an issue and seeking to hold the perptrators accountable.
