Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Falsely Accused

If someone files with the local P.D. a list of accusations that they know are false and misleading, do I have any recourse in any action against them. My former employer filed a list of charges against me in a civil trial which was settled, and now we have been questioned by a local detective about criminal charges, using the same list.
