Instead of an individual filing the complaint, the government usually files the criminal complaint against the individual. However, some states do allow individuals to file criminal complaints. Essentially, it's a judicial order, a court-issued document that charges the defendant with specific crimes.
The misdemeanor offense of false imprisonment under California Penal Code Section 237(a) PC requires a prosecutor to establish the following elements: The defendant intentionally and unlawfully restrained, detained or confined another person. The defendant made the person stay or go somewhere against that person's will ...
The most common defense is consent. In other words, the victim voluntarily agreed to being confined.
Kidnapping is when someone takes another person (either against their will or by luring them away) or keeps a person against their wishes, in order to make that person or someone else give something up to let that person go. False Imprisonment is when someone confines or detains another person without their consent.

At the outset it's important to simply refute the allegations. If something didn't happen -- say so. Don't elaborate. Say `It didn't happen' and move on. Do not get into a debate. Do not respond to a list of false allegations with a point by point rebuttal of each one.
