You can raise false accusations of sexual contact or sexual intercourse for a variety of reasons. An accuser may falsely blame you for a sex crime out of: jealously, regret/shame, revenge, anger, or to be part of the #MeToo movement. People may also make false accusations in a domestic violence case to try and gain leverage in a child custody dispute or to get you out of their home. Note, though, that you do not have to face these accusations with silence. You have the right to defend yourself.
