Now it strikes me as suspicious that more accused haven't taken legal steps to prosecute the false accusers.

I've definitely heard crickets about people stepping forward to prosecute (or threaten to sue) the accusers. Not sure if the media is intentionally not covering that, if many accused are so guilty that they don't want to take it to court, or if the accused just hope it blows over. It is odd.

I agree, the absence seems pretty unusual.

My guess is it would be portrayed as victim blaming. In the case I linked to there was a lot of solid evidence that the whole thing was bullshit.

Depending on the situation if there's vagueness involved it would most likely make the whole process of disproving the claims much more difficult.
