Someone making a bogus claim prefers that it cannot be readily dis-proven.
That's why actual sexual relations, or at least being alone in a hotel room, are easy pickings for someone looking for a #metoo payday.
If you stay in public view, there's always the chance of surveillance video disproving a bogus claim. IMO it's more about removing temptation and minimizing your vulnerability. I'm not paranoid, but I am conscious of it.
If you're single or otherwise "in play", there's a whole additional set of considerations. My consideration is just to not have unaccounted for time out of public view.
My views have changed dramatically, I recently vocally supported one co-worker (the female) in a he-said/she-said situation. Boy was I wrong, turned out the plaintiff was trying to deflect serious discipline by twisting poor judgement into a rape claim. It's for real fellas.
