Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Made a False accusation

What can happen to me if I falsely accused my boyfriend of stealing money from his employer? I left a message on his employer's voice mail saying that he had stolen money. If I go to the police and tell them that I only did it because I was mad at him, can they bring action against me?
