There are several recants Patt; it happens frequently and is rarely if ever reported. Subscribe to the excellent SAFARI news letter; they print names, details and facts about all sorts of false allegations.
And who (I believe) was the man behind the David Jones allegations? Waxie Maxie that famous public relations supremo.

Do you know of any false accusers who later recant their accusations? Except for those who are caught out of course?
Yes, the men who accused the football manager Dave Jones of assaulting them. The whole case collapsed when one of them cracked and recanted his accusations, admitting that they were all just chasing compensation.

But I also feel; the mentally ill (many false accusers are) need treatment and sympathy, not punishment.
But I'm not big on punishment anyway. It's not effective as a deterrent and why double up one nasty deed with another?
Once past the point of no return.
