Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer that question without having more information such as a confidential conversation with you and/or a police/report to work off of.  In my experience, the best way to handle this kind of alleged false accusation is to hire a good, experienced criminal defense lawyer you trust as soon as possible to represent you in communicating with the District Attorney's Office to try and resolve this on the most favorable terms possible for you.
