59. Is this what DU is now?

Tue Feb 4, 2014, 07:23 PM

Feb 2014

First, she admitted that one of the two instances of molestation didn't really happen, not that she wasn't molested at all.

Second, are we going to say that because one girl lied once about one instance of abuse, all girls are suspect?
