Should those who falsely accuse others of 🍇, serve time in prison?

For more context, in cases of 🍇 accusations, the one being accused is likely to face defamation from those around them. Potentially losing a job, losing friends, and losing credibility. Obviously victims of 🍇 are faced with trauma and emotional turmoil… but what happens when an alleged “victim” falsely accuses one of 🍇. Most reasons being finacial gain as well as wanting defamation of the other party. Should the false accuser be punished for the harm they have put someone innocent through?
