I will always assume that any kind of plausible deniability is lost just by design of the law unless they really can't pin it on an individual. The computer misuse act of my country is vaguely defined for this reason, as I imagine the same laws are in the US. For example, "It wasn't me. A friend used my Wi-Fi!" and similar arguments will not fly as you can be seen as responsible as bill payer. Those kind of defenses could even be considered admissions of guilt. It's concerning to see how many people suggest you claim your Wi-Fi was unprotected if accused of something. This will more likely be used against you if anything.
