My previous answer was a little tongue-in-cheek. Wrongly accusing people of things that pose a threat to their freedom, their reputation, and their ability to continue on in society as they choose is a garbage move. I'll admit though that I think it's par for the course and would not have cared so much if the subject of the accusation hadn't played as much of a role in my young life as he did. If I didn't recognize the name/character, I'd have glanced over the story as background noise thinking "well that's shitty...what's new?"
