People who actually admit raping people get away with cautions and such. Its very rare for someone done for a false allegation to get away with just a caution (not sure if its ever happened) as the CPS tend to go for perverting the course of justice which could mean life in prison..

The vast majority of the convictions in the last five years, 98 out of 109, involved prosecutions for perverting the course of justice – which carries a maximum life jail term – rather than the lesser offence of wasting police time, which has a maximum tariff of six months in prison or a fine.
