In the broader picture. I don't think the woman's motives are the issue here...
I few months ago in NY, a grandfather who worked at a public school and had no criminal record at all, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse...

While the accuser's motives are not the central issue here, they should be an issue.

If the woman is so distraught from alcohol/drug abuse that she can't account for her past actions, then she should be mandated into a rehab center and psychiatric treatment; nobody is doing her any favor by allowing her to proceed with "life as usual."

If, on the other hand, she planned this event in advance -- or if she knew she was giving misinformation after the fact -- she should be prosecuted.

I don't believe in dismissing this sort of accuser with the "stuff like this happens all the time" philosophy. She's not a child accusing an educator; she's an adult. She should be investigated, and depending on the findings, either treated for or held accountable for her actions.
