I was falsely accused of rape some time ago, I know it was consensual - they admitted it was consensual, they stayed the night, and then texted for a second date a couple days later. A week goes by and then she texts me claiming I had ripped the condom off (which I didn't) and got a rape kit done. I lawyered up, the police contacted me and I didn't say anything. The police ended up not charging me. I thought it was over. But no, she then went to my regulatory profession, I'm a nurse, and they charged me with acting unprofessional and suspended me. This was absurd and I had all my exes write in to say I was a good boyfriend and respecting when it came to sex. They held a kangaroo court hearing and nodded their heads in agreement with everything she said. My profession threw me under the bus and ignored all the evidence to the contrary and branded me guilty of being unprofessional for sexually assaulting this person (and no, she was not a patient) and revoked my licence to work as a nurse.

This went on the news, and my life has been utterly destroyed. I'm in debt. No one wants to hire me. I cant do the job I love anymore. And it's been incredibly isolating and I've been turned into a villian that I'll never escape. I'm not asking for advice, but Jesus do I feel alone and sad and I don't know how to get back on my feet. I'm thankful I have family support and friends, no criminal record, a good counselor and psychiatrist. I'm appealing it, but even if I win I doubt I'll ever be able to work as a nurse again, and I'll never gain back the respect I had from people.

Any love, advice, spiritual guidance would be appreciated, I just can't stand being alone in this anymore.
