In a just world, any false accusation (of ANY crime) would carry the punishment of the crime that was falsely claimed.
Exactly what was commanded in OT Israel:
16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, 17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, 19 then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you.
Deut 19: 16-19 NIV
