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 — sometimes from themselves.



          (J.A. Wambach & R.W. Fuller, Battles between somebodies and nobodies: stop abuse of rank at work and at home, 2008)
