Does the statement "she most certainly committed adultery" concerning a Muslim woman who lives with a Christian man and appears with him in revealing photos and clothing, along with inappropriate movements between them, constitute a false accusation of unchastity (qadhf) that necessitates expiation?

Your statement about the woman, "She committed adultery," is a clear accusation of unchastity (qadhf). The deplorable condition of the woman does not permit accusing her of adultery. Therefore, you must repent to Allah Almighty.
