My dad was accused a few weeks ago of harassing someone. He didn't, just to be clear. The woman who accused him is a lazy person who made up this rumor because she was tired of being told what to do by my dad.
My dad is her boss.
See? She's not too bright. I really hate her.
Her story is false too, and doesn't make sense because she claims that he grabbed her arm and forcibly pushed her into her office to get back to work, when what actually happened was he was nowhere near her, he said "Please leave the room, I have work to do. You get back to work." He didn't walk up to her or anything. But she wanted to lash out at him because I don't even know so she claimed he follows her around and calls her names and physically touches her.
Just so you all know, by "physically touches her" I do not mean sexually. And by "harassing" I do not mean sexually.
The company has to do this investigation on it, because they have to take things like this seriously. I'm just asking...how serious is this? Could he lose his job just because some lazy little bitch was bored??
I'm really scared for him, and he's been mopey for the last few weeks because he's scared too.
What do you guys think? And is there anything I can do to comfort him?

the lady who accused your father obviously didnt like being told what to do. thats a normal feeling that anyone has. i know i dont like being told what to do. she didnt like the fact that he snapped at her, so she took it into her own hands and thought that if she got him fired, maybe she could be in charge now and she'd be doing all the bossing when he was gone. im sure your faher didnt physically touch her or call her names because any logical person would realize that they would loose their job if that was what they were doing in a business-like environment. if your father knows he didnt do it, he'll be fine and he can proove himself inocent, its not difficult.
as far as comforting him, just be a great kid and help him out around the house and be extra nice to him. do things without him having to ask you more than once, or even without him asking you.
i hope everything works out for you. if you ever need anything else, feel free to message me for further help.
