That is complete bullshit and doesn't fit the events of the case. Dylan FIRST told the babysitter, who then told Mia. Mia then contacted her lawyer. Even without knowing those facts, false accusations are exceedingly rare. It is a blatant distortion to claim there is an equal possibility that the abuse didn't happen. Child sexual assault is exceedingly common, while false accusations and false memories are rare.

You know what a "woman is capable of"? You seriously expect us to take that as something other than an expression of your own animosity? Men are also capable of rape, and women and men alike are capable of child sexual abuse. Your post is the most appalling distortion of the case. Your divorce is irrelevant, And I have no reason to believe that whatever your wife said wasn't entirely true and justified. Your distortion of the likelihood that Mia has a false memory and condemnation of all women tells me you have no credibility on this subject matter.
