Best Answer

If it can be proved that they knowingly made false statements in the report, then they can be held criminally liable under the perjury statutes, and civilly liable for any damages that they caused. Remember that you must have sufficient evidence to prove that the person knowingly made false statements. If they made the false statements under a good faith belief that they were true, no crime has occured nor will damages be awarded in a court of law.
