  • Let’s assume she is telling the truth.

    If this happened between ages 9-12, I’d be looking at the family as a whole to determine how this happened at such a young age and for so long with out any adult knowing. There wasn’t the internet where information about such topics is freely avalible. Someone planted the seeds and some one else failed to educate the kids about personal space while also somehow making the girl not want to tell her parents “hey my brother invented a wired new game!”.

    I’ll also acknowledge that the girl may have been “consenting” to secret play time with out really knowing what was going on. At the time all was fine, but retrospectively all was clearly not fine.

    Ultimately it’s a he said, she said fight and we will never know the truth. I wish the best for both individuals.




  • #MeToo has also shown that there are people out there will claim SA as a form of revenge or in attempt to get money of the situation.

    As things are, the man is always assumed guilty even when proven innocent.

    I try not to take accusations at face value for this reason. You have to put your self in their shoes; If someone accuses you of SA 30 years ago, what do you do? How do you convince people it never happened or in the case of two consenting adults hooking up, how do convince people it was consensual?

    By the time you prove your innocence, you’ve lost your job, friends, family, possibly divorced, children all have 100 mile restraining orders and have been told terrible things about you…your life is fucked because some saw the #MeToo movement and figured out there are 0 consequences for fucking up someone’s life.

    That being said, if the accused is proven guilty, then feel free to chop of their head (not the one attached to the neck).
