Is this lie okay in islam?

I told a lie about being a victim of sexual abuse to a person that makes harsh comments about sexual abuse. However, I did this to stop them from making these comments as they were affecting the girls around me, due to some of them actually being a victim of such abuse. Is what I did unlawful, after telling him my lie I felt a sense of guilt, built ultimately said it stop him harsh comments. Is what I said unlawful?
