Which evidence is required to prove a false report?

• A. The victim's statement alone
• B. Physical evidence and statements from credible witnesses that contradict key aspects of the victim's statement
• C. Only a lack of physical evidence
• D. A police report without details

Answer: (B)

To prove a false report, you need corroborating, objective evidence that directly contradicts the victim's account. Physical evidence that contradicts the statements, along with credible witnesses who undermine the essential claims, provides a solid basis to challenge the report’s truthfulness. Relying on the victim's statement alone isn't enough, since memories can be faulty or misremembered. Likewise, a lack of physical evidence by itself doesn't prove falsity, and a police report without details doesn't supply the necessary corroboration to disprove what was reported.
