What Else Should I Do?
If the false accusation of sexual misconduct arises in the context of a custody dispute, maintain a positive relationship with your children. They may not understand the allegations they have made against you and are not likely to be ultimately responsible for the false allegations. If the accusations involve children other than your own, remove yourself from situations where the children are present. If such situations are unavoidable, have another adult in attendance at all times that you are around children.
Even if you know the child molestation accusations are false, take them seriously and obtain legal help, but try to continue your normal life.
