The short answer is yes you can be terminated. However, your company may have a policy manual which outlines procedures for this type of incident and if your company violated those procedures then you may have a claim.
If you have a policy and procedure manual or employee handbook, check it out and see if it discusses a policy related to employee accusations and terminations for cause. If it does, and your company did not follow its own rules, then you should consult with an employment lawyer.
