illegal suspension

I was accused of unwelcomed physical contact by my student(sexual harassment) .
they gave me a notice to explain. I wrote a letter of denial and defended myself. It's just her words against my words. But then, my HR told me im gonna be suspended for a month as a sanction. I never admitted the accusation.She just talked to the student, then informed me without hearing my side as if i really did it. Can this be an illegal suspension?
thank you
