Its hard to be falsely accused of shoplifting. . . I mean if you were caught hiding something or with something in your pockets, down pants, in purse/backpack or wherever, not much you can do except hire a lawyer.

Do you mean falsely CHARGED of shoplifting? Was the police involved? Were you arrested? Do you have or have you had a court date? Have you been convected already?

The victim can report the shoplifter to the police, and if there's enough evidence, the district attorney can bring criminal charges against the shoplifter. If the shoplifter is convicted, he or she will be punished in accordance with the law of the relevant jurisdiction - usually with a significant fine, and maybe a short time (1-2 months) in jail.

In addition, the victim could bring a civil claims for one or all of the following: trespass to land, trespass to chattels, and conversion, which would probably require the victim to return the stolen item, or pay for its value.

Why won't he talk about the affair and refuse to even admit it?

If he is not willing to admit that is an obvious answer that he is guilty. Unless, you have continuously falsely accused. Of course if he is guilty he does not want to talk about it! Men will deny it until they die because they dont want to lose their options. You are an option for them, incase it does not work out with the other person they still can be with you. If they admit it they know that they have lost you permanently.
