PA criminal code, filing a false police report

Most likely the police will not be willing to charge your friend. If that is the case, you can still go to the District Magistrate Judge's Office and fill out what is call a Private Police Complaint.

Hi my nephew was accused of robbery of a store, he claims he's innocent and was not in town when the robbery happen.

First, your nephew doesn't have to prove he is innocent. Under the U.S. And PA Constitutions he is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by the Commonwealth after a trial by a jury of his peers. If he has an alibi defense, he should let his attorney know as soon as possible so that he can provide the District Attorney's office with the required notice of this affirmative defense.
