And just like any other victims of a crime they will need to prove their case with the burden of proof on them.

Why on one hand to we keep stating that the outcomes of the courts need to protect the innocent for one crime and yet for the crime of false accusation we don't have people wanting the same standard. If someone is accused of a false accusation don't they deserve the presumption of innocence until the allegations are proven in a court of law?
