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.

It's a touchy subject, and much like a past alphabet agencies favorite way to discredit people in the past, it doesn't need to be true to be effective.
However, it doesn't mean you should just discredit it immediately. If someone does come forward with a blatantly false allegation, there's legal (steps to be taken as shown recently. )[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/chuck-schumer-slams-forged-sex-harassment-documents-phony-allegation-n829076]

The problem with this whole thing is the lack of evidence on both sides.
