What is it called when someone falsely accuses you of something?
There are two types of defamation. Libel: Libel is a defamation that is written, such as in a newspaper, magazine or on the internet. Slander: Slander is a defamation that is orally published, such as in a speech, over the airwaves, or in casual conversation.
What about false sex crime allegations:
DON’T ignore the charges simply because they are false
Though it might be tempting to simply ignore the charges and hope that they disappear because you know you are innocent, this is never the best course of action. Sexual charges can have serious and lifelong consequences. It is important to act proactively as soon as you learn of the charges in order to protect yourself.
Do hire a defense attorney immediately
As soon as you hear that someone has charged you with a sex-related crime, contact a criminal defense attorney who specializes in sexual assault allegations. Just like you would see a specialist for a health issue, you want to hire a lawyer who has experience handling this type of case.
