‘Sure, the two brothers made the whole thing up.’
If that is what you think I suppose it is a possibility, but I think there is most likely a core of truth, surrounded by a certain amount of childish fantasizing. The exact proportion of which is hard to determine without more of the details. I do not take a lawyer’s brief as the gospel truth. Lawyers, like the politicians they so often become, lie for a living.
There’s a lot of truth to these allegations. The damage has been immeasurable.
I went to school with a kid who was the nicest, most normal kid you’d ever want to meet. Smart too. About a year after his father died he changed dramatically. We figured it was because he lost his father. It turns out he was being molested by a local priest.
I’d like to tell you that story turned out okay - but it didn’t. The kid is in prison now.
