You can sue her, but your chances of ever recovering any oney from her are slim. First, no lawyer would take such a case on a contingency basis, so you would have to pay your lawyer up front. Second, unless your ex has a lot of money and owns things in her own name, you will have trouble collecting on any judgment. Finally, even with that text, you will need more evidence to prove that she deliberately made false charges against you. If you are determined to go after her, you should file an action in small claims court (district justice court) on your own, and see what happens.
