This is a very complex situation. You say the person
"admitted their guilt and proved [your] innocence" and was prosecuted
but was the person found guilty? It is very important that an attorney
examine the admission this person made and the circumstances under which it was
made. It is possible you may have recourse, especially if you went to
trial and were convicted as a result of that trial.
