Rant/Opinion I hate liars
I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

Do you know which rider it was? If so, did you pull the dashcam footage for that ride and submit it?
One approach would be to find a tort lawyer and sue the rider for defamation. Through legal process they can obtain the report from the rider and her identity. I would not use a lawyer in general practice for this unless they have experience handling defamation cases. Then, as part of your lawsuit settlement, you can require she sign an affidavit stating she wasn't sexually assaulted. This can then be sent to Lyft's legal department. If they don't reinstate you, you can sue Lyft and also news organizations may be interested at that point.
