Nope.We see it all the time. News agency prints a front page headline(whether physical or on first page of website) and gets it wrong. The retraction will be 12 pages in behind Granny Fanny Packs or something and virtually no one will see it.
Accusations are sensational!!! Proof and retractions not so much unless you are very, very high profile person.
Example with an accusation of using AI art that was false. AI art isn't like being accused of a serious sex crime, like your example. Those are almost impossible to disprove and life-altering. This is neither life-altering nor hard to disprove. Indeed it's trivial to disprove (for the artist themselves - as Morrus pointed out, if art is being bought without a clear individual source it can get more complicated but that is really on the seller to be very certain about his sourcing).
