Well I guess the king's reaction is understandable because an investigation could turn out very bad for him since the only other outcome aside from guilty would be the princess lying. I'm surprised everyone else, especially people from Japan, turned on him so easily though. Normally you'd think they'd demand due process at least.

Another thing I don't understand is the accuser's reasoning. If she just wanted his coins, she could've stolen them and pretended none the wiser, then just leave Naofumi at a later date, with him still thinking some third party did the stealing. He certainly seemed gullible enough for that. She didn't have to pretend to be assaulted and ruin the guy's life because that doesn't benefit her at all and carries much more risk, like revenge.

Well, Naofumi found out they are all from alternative worlds. So Japan in each world will have differences.
But even IRL, justice in Japan can be manipulated by powerful people, we have a clear example happening right now.

The other three were familiar with the game setting, and the Shield Hero was a character only losers would play in the game, apparently. I have no doubt they thought fighting without the Shield Hero would be safer than having him in the mix. Since they were also so eager to ask for compensation and good terms for themselves, it's reasonable to think they would demand the Shield Hero's share as well from now on. In fact the Spear dude already got some of it.

The bitch needed this for practical purposes to exit the Shield Hero's team quickly, with a good justification, keeping the stolen loot as well. When Naofumi was accused of an attempted rape, nobody would pay attention to some petty theft. Furthermore, she also made herself the victim, gaining sympathy, even if smarter people would have seen through her. She doesn't want to belong to the useless Shield Hero's team a single day longer than necessary. None of them would, as was seen when the adventurers got to choose their team.
