As a Franchise Attorney while I agree partially with the other attorney answer, there's a danger. If you bring a suit for defamation or try to get an injunction against her, she may be motivated to sue for the alleged sexual harassment. Then, you're going down a very slippery slope. If she wins, it's a complete defense to the defamation claim and you'll be on the hook for harassment damages, which can be substantial. Why, by the way, would she call your customers out of the blue and make these allegations? Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
