I think false accusers of crimes that carry a high degree of stigma that can stay with the falsely accused long after they have been shown to be innocent, should be liable to imprisonment. To be falsely accused of rape or sexual abuse to children can create a powerful stigma that can follow the unfortunate person for years to come.

Anyone who deliberately sets out to falsely accuse a completely innocent person of crimes of this type does so with the full knowledge that the accusation alone can have a devastating effect on the persons life regardless if the complaint is proven or withdrawn. The action of bringing an allegation of this type is a crime in itself and if proved to be malicious the perpetrator should face a custodial sentence.
