ANSWER:

This is not backbiting! This is slandering and Allah will hold them each alone on the day of judgement and order them to prove to Him that such a person or people are thieves and present Him with evidences to prove their claim.

If they fail to do so, they will be thrown into hell for their lies. If all the people accused your father of rape or theft, would that prove to you that he was such a criminal? Would the court agree to put him in jail just because people were talking ill about him or would it demand a trail and evidences?
