False claims are pretty damn rare but difficult to prove most of the time so any legislation will likely deter people from coming forward who have genuine cases. When it comes to sexual abuse, victims suffer enough through the legal process, opening up an avenue where they can not only be painted as liars but potentially face charges if the circumstances don't work out for them wouldn't work and there's no way of reasonably safeguarding victims from the accusation of a false claim.

I can't see a way in which such legislation wouldn't affect genuine victims and potentially open them up to more pain.
