If there was no sexual harassment and you coerced the statement, then the employer could fire you with no legal liability. If the sexual harassment occurred, and/or you did not coerce the statement, then you would probably be able to file a claim for unlawful retaliation. On a separate note, you can try to get the statement, but she is not required to give it to you. I recommend that you consult with an experienced employment attorney.
