More details to this question:
My grand daughter's mother accused me of molesting my grand daughter (1st degree sexual misconduct with a minor under 11 years old). I was arrested, spent 10 days in jail. Six months, and more than $10,000 latter, the solicitor dropped the charges. My then 5 year old grand daughter told the solicitor that I never did anything. My son was also able to prove to the solicitor that my accuser is dishonest and has a long history of ill intent towards my son and myself. This took place in SC, however, my accuser has moved to GA.

Yes, you can sue the mother, but damages (money) may be difficult to obtain and the trial may be costly to you. I suggest that you consult with a defamation attorney. Suitng the authorities may be extremely difficult.
