I think it would, yes. But in addition to that large violation of a person's rights, it would also empower the establishment even further if we were to expand this beyond rape allegations.
So you suggest we just allow people to make fake accusations willy-nilly and woe be it to the person they're accusing? That's not fair or just, and it's not infringing on the person's first amendment rights. The first amendment protects your right to speak up about what you wish to without fear of recourse due to the nature of your opinion, but it does not allow you to wield your opinion to incite violence or wrongfully hurt another person, which would be infringing upon their (the accused's) rights. Having an opinion does not mean you get to destroy other people with it.
