Except there's no such thing as witchcraft but sexual harassment is very real. Victims have every right to speak up.

Libel and slander laws are also real. If someone is actually making a false accusation, there's already legal ways to deal with it.

suing can cost money, time, effort, and may not able to necessarily clear your name even if you won.
