If she is going to go down the CSA route then she will have to make a Police report. I googled and found this.Absolutely this is her end game and it should be a criminal offence. Falsely accusing anyone of CA or SA is abhorrent.
Penal Code § 148.5 PC prohibits you from making a false police report of a crime. False reporting is only a crime if the person making the report knows it to be false. The offense is punishable by up to 6 months in jail. A violation of this law is a misdemeanor under California state law. The criminal offense is punishable by:
- custody in county jail for up to six months, and/or
- a maximum fine of $1,000.
Maybe her 'get out of jail card' is that she believed what the kids told her but if the kids say that she coached them to lie???
