Background
the government should have an investigation each time someone is accused and there needs to be solid information against someone. if it ends up being that someone has wrongfully accused someone due to spite and/or any other wrong reason it should be an offence and should get a fine and/ or up to 10 years in prison depending on the case example if they publicly tried to accuse and lie using the other persons name, the charge should be bigger.
