Even where the complainant admits to having fabricated the story or only reported the events to get back at the accused, the police and the Crown are incredibly reluctant to accept that explanation and withdraw the charges. Complainants have recanted often enough due to pressure and coercion from the accused that police and the Crown look upon any recant as dubious.
