Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

accused of stealing by coworker

A fellow server accused me of stealing money off her while working. I never even go near her tables. She then told everyone I work with I stole from her. I want to fight the allegation. If I prove my innocence, can I have her fired for accusing me of a crime I did not commit?
