Essentially it was a very crowded environment and I was bumped forward into someone. A girl comes from across the room and confronts me. She goes to tell other frat brothers. One of my frat brothers comes and takes me down to a room where I was asked what happened to which I denied groping the girl. They said there were other women who said I groped them the same party which is not possible since I only remember getting bumped into one person. They then said I needed to leave and would be reported to IFC. How to navigate situation where a bunch of people are under the impression I groped someone from one person who misinterpreted a situation but was vehemently confident it was intentional and essentially convinced the girl she was assaulted, creating an entirely fake scenario? I have evidence people have spread the false claim to my friends and extended circle, as well as potentially a past employer. Am I in danger of actual charges for something with a convinced witness and others believing the story?
