You can't protect the innocent by punishing innocent.
With regards to compulsory reporting, there's not much that can be done, just as nothing can be done about the person with honest suspicions. But when it's a case of one person accusing another, and it's then found to be a deliberate falsehood, I'd like them to be fined for the wages of all the personnel who worked on the case.
