Historic rape accusation, should we change behaviours?

There is currently a very sad thread regarding an historic rape accusation, it came about from a gentleman helping a single female neighbour.

It got me thinking, our neighbour and friend is a widow and we give her a lot of support, my husband this month has gritted her paths, taken some heavy things from her car, taken her car to a car wash and helped her with some complex admin.
He will often stay and have coffee with her or a glass of wine.
I have never once felt any concern or jealousy and would never dream of chaperoning.

These kind of accusations can really make behaviours change.

Should my husband be more cautious?

Is it still the case that a patient can request a chaperone if his or her own sex? I hope so. The NHS collapses in many areas simultaneously.

You can request what you like Caleo but may not get it.
What's worse is if you're told you are getting someone of your own sex, and they turn out not to be.
(I'm not trying to derail the thread, just being factual)
