What do we call "a person who blames others for things they didn't do"?
I searched on the web, and found the word "blamer". I know what it means, and I don't find it fits the definition I wrote.
Update: It can mean "false accusation" and/or "When somebody says that another did something (wrong) when they haven't".

There is a related word, scapegoat, which means:
scapegoat (noun) A person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.
From this word, we have the word scapegoater, which means:
scapegoater one that makes a scapegoat of something or somebody
While scapegoat is fairly common in the vernacular, I think scapegoater is a less common word. However, it fits what you are looking for.
Here's a usage of it in print:
Tolerance and independent thinking are essential to a democratic form of government, but the scapegoater cannot think straight.
(Charles Henry Scherf, Do You Own Thinking, 1946)
Another book about hostilities in the workplace says:
A scapegoater is one who transfers blame to persons or groups, who are not necessarily guilty, in order to focus attention away from those who are actually responsible â sometimes from themselves.
(J.A. Wambach & R.W. Fuller, Battles between somebodies and nobodies: stop abuse of rank at work and at home, 2008)

I found imputer.
Noun[edit]
imputer (plural imputers)
One who imputes.
Impute, as a verb, means:
- to attribute or ascribe (something dishonest or dishonourable, esp a criminal offence) to a person
Note: I am not a native speaker, so I can't comment on how commonly it's used.
It's an obscure word â but so is the word that I proffered. It's still a good find, though.
