Girl Lied About Ferris Coach Assault

Item: Ferris High coach cleared /Meghann M. Cuniff, SR

More Info: The Ferris High boys’ basketball coach accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl was cleared Thursday after the girl said she made the story up, her lawyers said. Don Van Lierop will return to the classroom and basketball court today after two weeks on paid administrative leave, said Terren Roloff, spokeswoman for Spokane Public Schools.

Question: What should be done with the girl who damaged Coach Van Lierop’s reputation w/her lie? How does a respected man like Coach Van Lierop totally regain his reputation after a false allegation like this?
