victimized by other woman's accusations

My husband is being sued for sexual harrassement after he had an affair with a woman who worked in his office. The affair ended, and my husband stayed with me. However, the "other woman" was not happy with this situation. All marital pain asside, he and I are NOT divorcing and have a stronger marriage now. However, he was forced to resign from his job because of her legal proceedings against him, and our family has endured a great deal of pain and suffering. It is my feeling that the "other woman" led my husband into this affair. Basically, she set him up. She also set me up in numerous ways. I discovered yesterday that in some states a person can file a complaint against another on the grounds of "criminal conversation" or "alienation of affection." Unfortunately, this law was abolished in South Carolina just last year. I am not wanting to sue for monetary gain, but I feel that my rights have been trampled upon and that I have been victimized. Does anyone have any ideas on another venue that I might take to make this woman stop her vendetta against my family?

I won't be offering advice on your husband's sexual harassment case because you don't seem to be asking about that.

I will address YOUR question about seeking damages from her: This is not a legal problem for YOU to pursue at this point.

You can think what you want about who led who down the garden path, but your husband cannot complain about the financial damage caused to him by her, when he was a willing participant.

The best thing you can do is focus your energies on forgiving your husband, if that is the route that you are choosing to take, and on fixing the problems that caused the whole sordid thing to happen in the first place.

Bottom line as to YOUR problems with her: Focus on the future, not the past.

Good luck to you. It sounds like you have been through a very painful experience.
