Fake accusations can happen for lots of crimes, not just rape. All it takes is someone being vindictive or petty and knowing they can get away with the fake accusation to destroy someone. In these cases, the system becomes the weapon. When you eliminate foundational elements of a justice system like innocent until proven guilty or the ability to question your accuser, you’re changing it from a system from justice to injustice as people realize that it’s an even better weapon with which to enact revenge than a gun or a knife because you can destroy someone with little chance for being held accountable.
