This is a recent case, and the woman got sentenced today by Norwegian Court. And your assumption is correct.

Anyhow, the guy's story and the full scenario based on multiple articles (I do not have any personal contact with this person, so I only have the view of the media here):

This couple met on a Norwegian dating-website called "Sukker" (Sugar). They met in May 2013, went to his place, and had sexual intercourse. As the woman left his apartment she sent a text to her friend claiming she was

"I am so afraid, I don't have control! I got something in my class, he took me by force while I hit and teared on him" (also claimed she was drugged by the guy)

Anyways, they went to a local rape center and reported the crime. Some days later this guy got picked up by the police (and lost his job...) and taken to custody. Two days later the police got his recording of the mentioned event.

He started recording after an earlier incident from another woman reported (falsely) rape. He was then acquitted (proven not guilty). As said, after this event he started to record these "hook-ups" for his own safety. The police (on the most recent event) stated the following

The recording shows there was at no time any rape, and the insulted gave a false statement in the report"<

During the recording there were "pleasuring moans from both parties". On the account of drugging her there were traces of diazepam. The district court obtained a statement from the Public Health Department, which states that the amount of diazepam was so small that it can not have affected her judgment

"In the court's opinion, it is also no evidence that the defendant did not absorb everything that happened, or that she may have misunderstood what happened. It appears from the sound recording that the defendant actively participate and volunteer in everything that happens, including that she takes the initiative to intercourse with the offended"

The guy is judged not guilty by the Norwegian court, but the woman has appealed to bring it up the chain. The woman, as mentioned in the title, is to compensate the guy with 350,000 NOK and spend 8 months in jail. The court wrote that the normal punishment for false rape accusation is seven months, but the woman was also convicted for attempted gross fraud.

edit: spelling

That would be "false attempted murder" accusations, and those happen all the time (the accusation, not the charged with making it) it's called VAWA and telling the police your boyfriend beat you and you are in fear for your life.

If you mean "False murder accusation" verbatim, well... there would be at the very least a missing person otherwise... it's really easy to disprove.

"My ex-Girlfriend killed.... um, her best friend!"

And then the best friend would need to vanish without a trace for it to even be plausible. And this is called "Framing" someone more than falsely accusing them of murder, and that actually does happen, but it doesn't fall under "False accusation.

The reason why a false rape accusation is specific (and can be the same about false accusations of physical abuse), is because it's enough for just the claim to exist and that alone cannot be disproven without something like video evidence outlining and proving a negative.

Another aspect of "false accusations" is perjury,

But here is the thing, other crimes aren't really propagated with false accusations because the burden of proof of all of them tends to be much higher, so those who would accuse don't bother because it doesn't make sense to. Also, the main difference between consensual sex and rape are the states of mind the victim and aggressor were in.
