"I wonder how they're going to prove that the accusation is false and that the professor knew it to be false?"

Good point. I'm not sure how that is settled, but if I have a website, and you send me an article that says: "X Congressman raped college student," don't I have an obligation to first check it out? The company was accused of doing something illegal and could cost them a lot of money in a lawsuit.
