Ok, I guess I'm a little confused about the allegation. Seems some attorneys say I can sue for defamation of character per se, mental anguish and anxiety, days work for having to appear in court etc. I incurred attorney fees b/c of a false allegation, thought I could recoup those fees b/c of that. The damage is my reputation, possible interference with my occupation (line of work) that I will be doing once I complete my degree. I've been reading some things online that says I can sue for compensatory and punitive damages with the claim being harsh in and of itself, that's what and why I was thinking to bring this to court. I can't imagine that people are allowed to make false allegations, cause stress, angst and mental anguish and not have anything done about it.....

Are you also saying that I cannot do anything unless I am actually charged with this? If the case gets dismissed can I still pursue this?
