No one can tell whether an action for wrongful termination is
appropriate until all the facts come in. I think it is a
bit "knee jerky" to say such an action is without merit at this
stage. Once action is taken by his employer, if any, I would
suggest you re post and we can opine then. However, if the
allegations are false, your husband may have an action against
the lady who reported it for defamation - NOW. Best of luck
