Filing a false report is a crime of moral turpitude, and if convicted you can kiss your career aspirations goodbye. Hire a lawyer before you get duped into a plea you will regret for life.

I would suggest that the first thing you do is to engage in a defense attorney, and until that time speak with no one about this. Filing a false police report can be extremely serious and result in fines and potential incarceration.
