Unverified allegation are a terrible way to deal with this but they are better than nothing.
That said, one would hope that if virtually all universities, corporations and VCs put sufficiently strong policies in place, bad behavior would occur less to begin with and be dealt with quickly when an individual does so behavior rather than having a given individual engage in a long streak of behavior that only stops when a large number of people go public.
In order to deal with any a systemic problem, you first need allegations to be made. Presumably Google's investigative team (which I've heard is very good) will be able to check the veracity of those allegations, and make a recommendation to his manager.
