What motives drive false accusers?
[NEO] The answer might seem obvious, but I think it’s more complicated than most people might think.Let’s leave out accusers who are telling the truth. I’m interested in the ones who are not. They can have multiple motives, too. This list is not all-inclusive, but here are the major ones: (1) Revenge. The person actually has hurt you in some way‐estranged spouses are notorious for this motivation‐but you’re making up a story with an accusation that can hurt them even more than the truth would, and you justify it by telling yourself they deserve it. (2) You’re a sociopath who enjoys lying and gets off on seeing people squirm. Makes you feel superior to all those stupid normals. (3) Someone has paid you money to lie.
