False accusations

I'm after some advice on how I can help my brother. I hope it's not too identifying but need to write some details so that you get the idea of what's happening.
His gf has some mental health issues which she is seeing a counsellor for. Recently she has been accusing him of cheating and causes huge arguments, which have resulted in her punching him in front of others. She has also called the police on him several times accusing him of rape and assault. He was held in a cell for 15 hours with no evidence and when the police asked if she wanted to prosecute she said no he hasn't done anything wrong. I'm unsure of exactly how many times she has rung the police with similar accusations. I need some advice on how to help him going forward. Obviously I'm helping to get him out of the house etc but whenever she kicks off she just threatens to ring the police again.
Is there a way of reporting abusive behaviour? Can I report on his behalf? Is there a way of reporting that she threatens to accuse him of rape? I find it absolutely disgusting that someone could even lie about this and I'm worried that she could destroy by brother with her lies.

Have you got any digital messages or witnesses who can support you, you will need evidence for the police. Why can't the guy report it himself? I think you can ask the police to investigate but I’m pretty sure it comes down to the guy whether or not to prosecute. She sounds like a right nasty piece of work I hope you get it sorted!

It's a form of DV tell him to go to police to protect himself but if she makes false accusations again charge her for wasting police time the police will wise upto her lies

You could report your concerns to the police & ask them how he can get help & how he can be protected. There will also be domestic abuse helplines you could try?

And I would also make a report to adult social care &/or mental health services in your area about his gf, she needs help & is dangerously unwell.
