The quick answer is that false accusations can lead to civil suits like defamation which are (as said) civil and would be handled between a civil court and the involved parties.
If a false police report was filed, that can come with criminal charges, such as exactly that—filing a false police report—coming with things like fines and jail time, depending on the state.
But the realistic answer is that if you're referring to a person of "high social status" then these things often become corrupt for that reason. What applies to us may not apply to them. If this hypothetical accusation you speak of is truly false and made with malicious intent, we will have to play our cards right and hope the stars align in order for them to face justice. But it has happened, and it will happen again. The only question is when, and to whom.
