Please help me I have falsely been accused of stalking. They mistaken me for someone else

Do they need proof? Innocent until proven guilty right

It depends on the jurisdiction.

Explanation:

In the United States for criminal justice, innocent beyond a reasonable doubt is required for criminal proceedings. This means if you were to be criminally punished, such as placed in prison, there is a legal burden of requiring proof to affirm a conviction.

In the United States for civil justice, there is less of a burden. In fact, a preponderance of the evidence is required. This means more than 50% likelihood is required for civil charges, such as a lawsuit or a restraining order.

In the United States for university that are federally funded (Title IX), there exists a requirement of "preponderance of evidence” since the Obama Guidance of 2011 from U.S. Department of Education. This means, if there is more than a 50% chance it occurred, you may removed from your university (if applicable).

In the United States for workplace, this is determined by employment contract. More often than not, any accusation (regardless of preponderance of evidence) is sufficient for employment termination.
