assume the allegations are true when interacting with the woman, and assume they’re false while interacting with the accused

id also add to assume they’re at least somewhat plausible when interacting with people around them who may be effected in the future

putting people on guard, as long as it doesn’t negatively effect anyone involved is useful: it’s not a good outcome to have information, keep it to yourself to protect people, and then for someone new to get hurt

it’s incredibly tricky, and imo false reports are just as bad as true reports: false reports hurt real, and future victims significantly
