Not at all. That seems like a take away someone would come up with if they hadn't followed the trial, saw the gist of what went on and then made an assumption as to what the issues were.
These girls colluded and were caught straight up lying many times, including an email exchange gleefully boasting about how they wanted to ruin him.
Your point is true - this trial has certainly done some damage to other girls coming forward in their own situations, but the blame is squarely on the accusers in this case and not the "system". He had a right to a fair trial, he got it and the accusers were horrible. Not even in the "I was scared/ashamed so I lied sense" instead in the "Let's just make this sound as bad as possible despite facts and ruin his life at all costs" sense.
This was basically these girls acting the way horrible girls would at a company to get someone fired that they didn't like, and were blindsided that the highest court in the land didn't go "Oh, you have a complaint? Yeah, you seem like reliable girls, we'll do something about this right away!".
