What are the most common false allegations, and who makes them?
The most common false allegations made are allegations of child molestation, domestic
violence, and sexual abuse. Allegations of drug and alcohol abuse are slightly less
common, as are allegations of mental or psychiatric problems.
Most currently available information suggests that wives are more likely to make false
accusations than husbands. When made in the context of custody disputes, mothers
are the overwhelming majority of false accusers, in part because they are more likely to
be believed than fathers who make similar accusations.
