Someone falsely defamed me in my office. As I am a teacher, maintaining the highest level of professionalism, one of my students is defaming me and has written an email to the authority stating that I am having an illicit relationship with a student.

Defamation is a very serious act which attracts both criminal as well as civil consequences. If the particular person is defaming you by spreading rumors against you, then you can file a defamation suit against that person which is in the nature of a civil case. You can also file a criminal case against the person trying to malign your character in front of everyone and that will attract criminal consequences which includes jail terms.
