Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Iowa

I recently reported a coworker for sexual harassment, there were no witnesses to the events so I only reported it to my place of employment. Now in a desperate attempt to get back at me, this coworker is trying to say i called him an "N" word and claims to have witnesses. He is threatening to sue me?! What can i do? Can this really go through? Am i bound to lose my job for this? How can this effect the rest of my life?
