CMV: Person who make false rape allegations should face the same charges as the other would if convicted

As the title says, *any person who makes false rape allegations should face the same penalties as the person who they made them about would if they were convicted. When a person is convicted of rape, they’re on a sex offender registry for life, face years in prison, and will likely never be the same. A false accusation is enough to ruin a persons life even if they’re found innocent due to changing views of community and family, lost opportunities, and general distrust resulting from the false claims. A person making a false allegation is willingly choosing to ruin another’s life, and as a murderer is met with death, I think the person who makes that accusation needs to have the charges reversed.

How would you propose that is managed? Does any accusation without enough evidence get classed as false and result in the accuser being jailed or is there a separate trial after the main one to prove it false. How could you prove if false?

If the only requirement is that the defendant not eb found guilty then this would discourage a lot of people coming forward with genuine rape claims given they face jail if there is not enough evidence (which is hard to come by in a situation that usually only includes 2 people in a room).

Also worth noting instances of false accusations are really low and not something that happens anywhere near as much as actual rapes.
