At my last job, the HR rep considered suing the company for discrimination. So HR isn't even there to help HR. Microsoft lost a case a few years ago when a female manager made up allegation to get a male employee fired. One of the employees she tried to convince to lie testified. That case may have influenced their decision to extend an offer. On second thought, more likely that companies just don't care about a single allegation.
