It depends on the circumstances - if you told him you lived on "Smith Street" and you actually live on "Jones Street" probably not much, if anything. However, if the misinformation had to do with a criminal offense investigation you could be charged with Obstruction of Justice.
Making a false accusation is a crime especially when it is accusing someone of actions like abuse. Making a false accusation causes the police and other professionals to investigate crimes that have not been committed. Someone can be convicted in court of making false accusations and be sentenced to serve jail time.
It can be serious, after you lodge a formal complaint your life gets restricted in many ways. You cannot give false statement otherwise it will not help them to find all links in the chain. Cooperation is needed by citizens.
Not to jail, but certainly the Juvenile Authorities will want to 'speak' with them.
The charges in PA for filing a false statement can vary greatly depending on the court's view as to the seriousness of the crime. Filing a false statement is generally treated as a misdemeanor charge. If found guilty, the individual could face fines up to $5,000 and a jail sentence up to 90 days.
Making intentional false reports to the police is USUALLY a misdemeanor offense (monetary fine and/or possibly up to one year in jail). However it could depend in some states on just how serious a situation it amounted to (for instance: making a false report of a missing child which then involves the deployment of hundreds of law enforcement, EMS, and firefighting personnel on a wild goose chase).
It is ALWAYS wrong to knowingly make a false statement. It becomes illegal and a violation of the law depending on what the false statement is about or pertains to. There are several statutes both civil and criminal which make it a crime to make false statements and the punishment depends upon the circumstances.

Most certainly.
If the court believes their false witness and not yours you could be put in jail. A good lawyer will try to prove the false witness is false.
