52. I'm a 57 year old male
And at my former workplace three males in their twenties got together and accused me of sexual harassment.

Our situations are opposite, but I was emotionally devastated. Your situation is much worse than mine was, and mine cost me a few nights sleep and a lot of emotional turmoil.

I called my situation "bullying by personnel department". I felt my accusers were bullying me and trying to get me fired....because they could.

Charging a colleague with sexual harassment is one of the few ways in the workplace where you can exert some real and mighty power. In this age of cut throat internal competition, one way to get ahead is to get your colleague fired.

I wish you the best and DU comes in handy for informed and comforting support. (Not in my case. Much of DU felt I deserved it) Go out and leapfrog your way to a good job. They are still out there. I'm starting mine on May 23.
