A: The short answer is yes, it does happen. It is incredibly easy for someone to go press charges on someone, even without concrete proof of a crime. The real question is whether there is anything to support a finding of guilt. If it is just one person's word against another's, then you should consider trial. That being said, it always depends on the evidence, assuming there is any.
