You are a corrections officer? No offense, but doesn't that require a written test, and don't you need to write reports in the course of your employment? Your question is hard to understand.

What I hear is that a juvenile, who was detained at the facility where you work, alleged that she was having sex with you. Your supervisors investigated and your co-workers were interviewed, and they determined the statement was false.

Some questions: Did you have sex with the juvenile? Were you damaged in a legally compensable way, such as you lost your job or were demoted? Could you actually recover monetary damages from a juvenile. Assuming you really didn't do it, I do not hear that you were legally damaged, and even if so, I do not think the juvenile probably has any money to compensate you from any remote damage.

So, while you didn't actually ask a question, I inferred a few things, and I think I answered you sufficiently.
