You can argue whether or not it's just, but it's silly to argue that it's not true.
But someone can file a false police report accusing you of rape, or murder, or assault, or theft, or any other crime which they want to claim to be a victim of. If people are willing to lie to the police, there's no limit on what you can be arrested for.
