Probably not. For criminal charges to be pressed a prosecutor would need to have more than just a "he said, she said" situation. Assuming that there is no other evidence I doubt the authorities would take any action. However, without any details its hard to say for sure. Note: This doesn't mean that the allegation couldn't be investigated; if other facts come to light as a result that could well warrant charges being pressed.
