I just finished reading the post in /r/theredpill about the foorball guy who was falsely accused of domestic abuse after his ex found out he stuck his magic wand in another. Lost his team and she said she'll take back the accusation she was just mad. key here is she texted him that, so he has evidence of the admittance of falsely accusing affecting his life.

For the lawyers on this sub or those who know, is it possible when you're falsely acccused of rape or domestic violence to counter sue the girl when it comes out you're not guilty or when they retract the accusation and especially if they admit it through evidence like SMS?

If your quality of life is affected, in this case the football team kicking him out regardless of it being false and he is maybe missing out on furthering that career if he is good, isn't there an argument for defamation of character or some other issue?
