Types of false accusations

When there is insufficient supporting evidence to determine whether an accusation is true or false, it is described as "unsubstantiated" or "unfounded". Accusations that are determined to be false based on corroborating evidence can be divided into three categories:

1. A completely false allegation, in that the alleged events did not occur.
2. An allegation that describes events that did occur, but were perpetrated by an individual who is not accused, and in which the accused person is innocent.
3. An allegation that is false, in that it mixes descriptions of events that actually happened with other events that did not occur.

A false allegation can occur as the result of intentional lying on the part of the accuser or unintentionally, due to a confabulation, either arising spontaneously due to mental illness or resulting from deliberate or accidental suggestive or or faulty advice.
