This is a classic "he said-she said" scenario. The State can still prosecute a person even if there are no other witnesses nor injuries.

The other employee (defendant) needs a criminal defense attorney to fight the allegations in court, review the evidence, determine applicable defenses, negotiate a resolution with the State, or take the case to trial.
