Was the issue was highlighted in public prior or subsequent to the accused being exonerated by the court? If, yes it was highlighted subsequent to the verdict of the court then he can certainly file for defamation.
Whether the mere fact that he stood exonerated by the court would entitle him to bring an action for defamation depends on the facts of the case.
