How do you prove false allegations?
Highly valuable evidence collected from police reports; witness and experts statements and any other relevant evidence (including Prosecution unused material) and third party material (such as medical reports and Social Services information) may be used to demonstrate the allegations to be false.
What are the consequences of making false accusations?
It is not against the law to allege that someone committed a crime. However, if a person purposefully makes false accusations to law enforcement about another person, the person who made those accusations could be punished, such as facing criminal or civil charges or both.
Can you sue for false allegations?
You could sue them for libel or slander. This would take place in civil court, so your actions would not result in the offender being arrested.
