It cuts both ways. Bias toward cracking down on false accusations, and real victims might be afraid to file charges. Bias toward assuming accusations are always accurate, and you enable weaponizing them - which is the whole point of this story. There needs to be a balance here.
Also, note - you mention filing charges. But the problem with sexual harassment cases is, they don't even get to that level. It's usually enough to "file charges" on a blog and post it to Twitter to do 90% of damage.
