Why are people not keeping the same energy?

Just watched their most recent video about this 11 y/o girl being arrested for a falsified police report. Now let me just say I think they handled the situation correctly and she deserves the actions taken against her. However the situation did raise an interesting question that has been asked more and more often. Why is it that people can recognize that this adolescent girl was wrong, knew what she was doing, and deserves punishment and that arresting officers and parents will immediately question her and search for evidence but when an adult woman accuses someone of SA or DV the automatic reaction by many men and women both is assuming the person who she accused is guilty and attempts at obtaining evidence is seen as a way of "victim blaming"? And why is it that when these women are found to have lied and schemed in this regard they often get minimized sentences or no real consequence at all for a lie and actionable offense of slander that can completely ruin someone's life regardless of whether or not or when they are aquited? Even when they do admit to malicious lying I see people take the defense and make claims and excuses of mental instability. Or even when there is clear proof that the accuser is lying people will say things like "false accusations are extremely rare, we should believe her until better evidence is presented" are these people taking the defense literal bots or mentally unstable themselves? What can we do moving forward to encourage better understanding and critical thinking when it comes to SA cases?
