I believe you file a report against him.

The first step is contacting the police agency with jurisdiction over the location where the crime occurred. Be prepaered - proving that a police report is false is often difficult. The burden of proof falls with the state to prosecute someone for making a false police report just the same as any crime and it is often not possible to gather enough evidence to prosecute people for this offense as it often comes down to your word versus theirs.
I have been a police officer for over 11 years - over 3 of those as a detective - and I have investigated a lot of cases where I believed, and in many cases proved, that the person reporting the crime was just not telling the truth. Out of those 11 years of cases I can only remember 2 or 3 that were actually prosecuted and those involved evidence - video tapes of the reported incident showing that things did not happen the way they were reported, confessions by the reporting party that the report was false, etc.
If you get the ear of the police on this one, and you know the suspect, suggest that they try a "reverse pretext telephone call." In this technique, you would call the suspect from a recorded telephone line at the direction of the officer. You would then confront the suspect about the false report and try to gain some admissions to that extent. That would then become evidence of teh false report.

If you have proof that a particular individual has filed a false report, go to the agency with whom the report was filed (along with your proof) and talk with them. They will guide you through the process.

Depends... The first ammendment may protect the person from saying whatever against anyone.
If it brought on negative consequences, you may want to consult a civil rights lawyer
