It's not an either/or situation - if someone is accused of a serious crime, it should be investigated; if the accuser is found to have made it up (as opposed to there not being enough evidence to convict, which is a completely separate thing), they should be charged with wasting police time. |
I think they should be charged with a lot more than that. False accusations of abuse, rape etc. can have a devastating effect on people's lives.
