I think that the hard question is how you weigh something like that against the rest of someone's life.
And I think that everyone would really acknowledge that some portion of accusations are not true. The problem has been that a lot of them have not been taken seriously and investigated properly. So the change that we should get (and have been getting) is increased appreciation that allegations of that nature are serious and should be investigated the way any other crime is investigated ("you say your house was burglarized, but did you give any reason to think that maybe your stuff was just there to be taken? You do have a history of giving good gifts. Maybe your equipment shouldn't have been made visible from the window.").
