False testimony to police investigation

[gmyers]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIFORNIA
False testimony to police investigation. Accused perpetrator of grand theft gave false testimony to police investigation(in police report) that she(perp) had filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against theft victim, thus his charge of theft of his university office was in retaliation for having sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him. She admits, in so many words, that she emptied his office. Victim professor(me) feels that by giving false testimony to police investigaton of theft charge brought by victim, perpetrator is attempting to bias police report and District Attorney through the use of false information to "justify" argument of retaliation against the victim and the case. There has NEVER been a sexual harassment charge, nor lawsuit filed, it is a complete fabrication! This professor of 35 years is without a blemish in his entire career.
Isn't this false testimony to a police investigation, in fact, perjury or worse? Isn't it actually a felony? The case has gone to the DA and back with the false statements/testimony included in the case report. Now what?
I am continuing with the charge of theft (grand) against the perpetrator and her assistant. p.s. $23,500 documented value of loss.

The DA will decide what criminal charges are appropriate. if the DA feels that he or she can make a case for making a false report to the police or delaying/obstructing the police,that can be added to the theft charges. However, those charges are misdemeanors and nowhere near the potential penalty for grand theft.

Proving intentionally false and malicious statements sufficient to constitute a false report to the police can be very difficult. Also,the information provided would have to have some substantial bearing on the matter. If all she did was claim to have filed a sexual harassment complaint when she had not, then I doubt the DA will see fit to pursue that matter as it is a distraction to the theft case. It is better to concentrate on the case you can easily prove that waste time on something that could be much harder and distract from the more serious case.
