What can I do if I was terminated due to a false allegation and then denied a new job because of it?

Question Details:

I worked for a sanitation contractor in a poultry plantand I was later terminated because of an allegation that an employee made about me being in the ladies restroom with a female employee. Subsequently, another sanitation company bought out the contract for sanitation. I was told to come in with this new sanitation company. Now the poultry plant that contracted out the sanitation told the new company about the allegation that was made against me with the old company. I was then denied the job because of this allegation and told they were not going to be able to hire me. May I add the allegation was never proven and I have not heard of any investigation at all only word of mouth. What can I do if anything?
