It is not a case of PC speak, it is doing the right thing, why do people have to feel worried about supporting people and why is it wrong to be PC? It could be that the 'accussed' has done no wrong doing and that the person in question is making false and unfounded accusations, by taking the official route instead of talking about it (and possibly spreading romours), it will either put a stop to the wrong doings or stop people making false accusations.
