Suspension and moving departments

Hi, I have only just seen this board so not posted on here before. I just wanted to ask your opinion (or give experienced knowledge of the system) on this situation:

A male staff nurse suspended for 4 months over allegations of being inappropriate with female members of the MDT ended up moving departments. Why would he have had to move departments? Is it standard procedure even if the allegations were unfounded?

I can't say too much on this but googling hasn't provided any answers.

Maybe he asked to be moved, it's not nice working with people who have made false allegations against you, why did they make these allegations if they were unfounded.

This is likely the case. I was involved last year in a grievance where a member of staff made some rather sickening accusations about 7 of us. There was not a scrap of proof and some of the things she'd accused us of were quite frankly bizarre. I wish we were moved becasue working with her was torture. Ultimately it went against her becasue she declined the option to be moved (easier to move one rather than 7) and it all fell apart when she was asked why she would want to continue to work alongside people she claimed did such hideous things go her. She just never came back after that but the 5 weeks the investigation was going on was awful.

These were allegations by several women in the department, not just one. He admitted to being "flirty" but denied any wrong doing. Seems odd that several women would make complaints about him if not true. One with a grudge, maybe, but several?
