There was a great report on BBC World Service about folks wrongly accused and/or convicted of crimes they didn't commit (in one case, a man was on death row for a couple years). A false accusation is as damaging as authorities not paying attention. The sad truth of the human experience is that without direct evidence (video, audio recordings), only the people close to it know how they saw what happened. It's then more important to redouble efforts to preserve justice by investigating thoroughly to attempt to uncover what happened, to not revictimize the wrong party.
