We are possibly getting sued but I will always stand by and defend my son

I gotta take us a ways back to understand this situation. At this time my son just turned 17. The time this all happened was back in 2020 when he was 14.

My son was offered a job through this Business which was basically making art. My son has autism and the owners son had actually said they pride themselves in hiring special needs people because their business and there's alone is showing autistic people that they have hope. Maybe that wording should have been a red flag.

I did notice things that I found a little bizarre about the owners son. He would constantly want to take my son out places when things started opening agsin and he was 19 but said it was a mentor type thing. I thought my son's father died, he needs a male mentor. The short version of everything that unfolded in the year and a half he worked for them is him not always being paid or being paid less than what he should have been paid, very hostile work environment, and I didn't even find this out until my son made the decision to post his experience on TikTok in a little TikTok series but he was put in some weird sexual situations. As I said my son put this whole thing online and their lawyers reached out to me about it. Yesterday we had a 4 hour mediation to avoid any lawsuits. I was there because obviously my son is a minor but he handled it pretty well himself. Mom and son were saying they were trying to avoid suing for defamation and my son said "The only defense for defamation is truth. Nothing I said was a lie and I came with the receipts. I added texts, emails, and even showed my paystubs. I didn't lie therefore there is no defamation." They ended up trying to say my son called her son a groomer and I was ready to defend my son but he beat me to it and said "Watch that entire TikTok series. I never used the word groomer. I said that I feel like he used my age and my autism to manipulate me and take advantage of me. I never called him a groomer even though he put me in several sexual situations with older men and women." The mediation turned into they wanted him to take down the TikTok and they will pay him the money they owe him with a catch. The catch is he had to and post he lied about it. And he said he's more than happy to take down those TikToks but he will not be saying he lied. They tried to say he implied her son groomed him which is a lie so he needs to say he lied in the video. My son said no and that if his TikTok followers came to the conclusion that he's a groomer based off the receipts and texts my son showed in those TikToks then that's not his fault. So 4 hours of mediation was pretty much nothing. So they're saying they may sue. Idk if they are. I told my son we could sue for hostile work environment. Idk if the situations he was put in constitute as sexual abuse. They brought him to a house that had several trippers and forced him to receive a lap dance. He was 15. But they owe him a little over 2k and my son doesn't want to go to court unless they actually sue us. That's his choice. If he doesn't want to go to court unless we have to counter sue I can respect that. But this is the situation and I stick by him always.

Edit: We've already gotten a lawyer involved. I'm not talking to these people anymore. We can communicate through lawyers
