I am going to rant a bit now people, and this opinion may be a bit "unpopular", so sorry if I offend anyone.
Thinking back eight seasons of this show, I think this was the very first time a false rape accusation was used in a plot. And even so, the woman who made the accusation was afraid of retaliation by her apparently abusive father. So even her false accusation was the product of female hate and sexual oppression - since her father probably thought having consesual sex made her daughter unworthy and it was better to be raped than consent to sex.

But that was my take on the plot.
