How can anyone defend himself against claims of offenses that happened about 40 years ago?
Maybe BSA and others should file a counter suit against cities and Gay Les organizations to say that THEIR actions allowed members of their/this “class” to be involved and they should pay for being a party to these gross actions.
Likely if there is a ruling in favor of the plaintiff then there is a pretty fair amount of corroborating evidence.
As medical debilitation is stated, the most probable factor in this case would be colon scarring which sometimes tears - leading to occasional bleeding, irritable bowel syndrome from that causing more occaisional bleeding, and perhaps a torn or herniated rectum ... you guessed it, trouble holding in bowel movements and more occasional bleeding. Stress fractures in the lower leg bones from where a grown man's knees supported his weight on a child can also continue to be a problem for decades if the abuse is chronic.
There could also be corroborating witnesses.
A jury isn't likely to be persuaded by uncorroborated testimony.
