Quote: Now the person who turned me in remains anonymous, but I'm pretty sure it was the person who was talking to the sexual harasser the day prior, because people are telling me he is going around saying I threatened to stab him in the back. Now when people report things at work they remain anonymous, and the other person is guilty until proven innocent, and there is no way to be proven innocent unless someone actually tells you who made what claims against you.
The simple fact is - unless they can prove that you did make such a threat, they have no case. Just return to work as if you were never suspended. If they have a problem with that, then threaten to take them to court, even if you have no intention of doing so.
In fact, you could come to work wearing a suit (if you don't wear one already), and let them know that you have to leave after lunch because you have an appointment with a lawyer later in the day.
That may be enough to get them to cooperate.
