When do they happen, and why did they happen?

Edit: since I wasn't clear, I am looking for examples of when this has happened to you, or your friend, or anyone that you have heard of...

Edit 2: also by "pretty much" does not happen, I don't mean never happens. But I think the rate at which it happens is probably a rounding error, and I think a lot of people would rather just say "oh well they could be lying" before even bothering to read what they have to say.

Projared, a game review channel on youtube was falsely accused of being a child predator by a bunch of kids who coordinated to destroy him on discord. Those kids provided fabricated "evidence" and managed to destroy Projared's growth, get their channel booted of their network, and destroyed their business relationships with their sponsors and other partners. All this because of the mentality that multiple parties can't lie. The poor host was branded a pedophile by everyone and looked like he aged 10 years in a couple of months.

Projared was fortunate enough to posses the mental fortitude and evidence needed to clear his name. Others in a similar position might not be as lucky.

Every example provided so far has been kids/teenagers who were part of a group (high school, discord, etc..)

These are grown intelligent women with no connection.

I'm not saying it's impossible they are lying, just improbable.

Adults are obviously better at lying than kids are, due to having more experience.

Both of these cases were high school situations, a typically traumatizing environment, with immature teenaged people.

I'm sorry, I do not see the same likelihood of collusion in this case of intelligent women who had no relation to each other. I am not saying it is impossible, but I have a hard time seeing it.

And UVA rape scandal? Or was that just a college situation, with immature post-adolescent people?

I think collusion among people who did not know each other at all is unlikely.

How would you expect anyone to know the answer to that?

Unfortunely I'm unable to come with some kind of recipe/equation for that.
