Desiree Washington, Mike Tyson's accuser, is the only person that comes to mind that I know of. During his trial, there was the father of another boy that she accused, who was willing to testify that Washington accused his son (at the time a star basketball player) of rape....Saw it in the "Tyson" documentary. Apparantly the girl had a thing for athletes and making up false stories...

A friend of mine was raped by her ex-boyfriend (decorated former military man) and she had the cuts to prove hit. Trial was quick and speedy and he went to jail. About a year or so later, the trial was reopened due to some questionable evidence and it came out that my friend had lied under oath, that nothing had really happened as far as rape (well to be clear it was sexual assault not rape) and she had cut herself. She got community service, sent to a psych ward for treatment. He was released. Didn't give that guy his year in prison back though.
Rape is real and I know people it's happened to...but in over 10 years I've never been able to speak that "friend" again.
