Incest remains one of the very few taboo, third rail topics in polite society. There are not many such topics left.

Far too many women use rape as a means to gain attention. False allegations need to land the accusers in prison for a very long time.

Well, whether this is true or not I really could never stand to watch either of those two. They come off as haughty, smarter than thou dorks, when they’re actually like those guys in the Sonics commercials.

I was surprised as I grew older, to find out how many of the frumpy-looking, sad sack girls in my small community turned out to have been molested by their fathers

He’s 52 according to his wiki page, article says she’s 51, so if this happened when she was 7-11, then he was 8-12.

I knew an obese girl who claimed abuse. Perhaps an abused girl will deliberately make herself unattractive to her abusers.

“Perhaps an abused girl will deliberately make herself unattractive to her abusers.”

I’ve heard that some adopt that as a strategy.

Indeed, and far too many children had no voice, no ability to refuse and often family ranks closed tightly around the accused. And, once they came of age, they had no evidence to verify their accounts and the wall of silence remains.

Child abuse is a great evil on society. While some child/child “sexual” events can be excused, adult or older child/child events are most hideous.

I have no dog in this particular fight, so we are just discussing the topic.

If they occurred.
Innocent until proven guilty is still a thing...for now.

Or let their appearance go because of depression.

If he was 8-12 when it happened, he would have likely bragged to a school friend about it.

If no one comes out of the woodwork in the next 3 weeks, she’s likely a nut job.

The sad thing is that it is possible that neither of them are lying.

Adult - "I am unhappy. I will go into therapy to find out why"

Psychologist/psychopath - "You were probably abused. Let's uncover these repressed memories. Take these drugs that will make you susceptible to my wild flights of fantasy."

Adult - "Thanks for helping me remember how my sister used to dress up as a emu and abuse me. I am going to sue her!"

Adult sister - "WTF? Have you lost your mind?"

Adult - "I remember it happening!"

Psychologist/psychopath - "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Give it time. The progressive train has no brakes.
