4. out of the millions of children molested, people always bring up two high profile cases.

Why is that? reminds me of the angry old men on the news site comments who instantly brand any woman claiming rape, is lying because they heard of false accusations somewhere else.

Not sure about this one, but her details are very very specific, and credible in context with the family gatherings which is something I've heard often happens. I had to call the police on a neighbor a few years ago who had a teen relative staying with them, who I saw from my balcony molesting the 4 and 5 year old in the backyard. Most horrible thing ever to witness. I have friends who were molested by a slightly older male sibling and cousin. It's much more common than the big false cases you mention.

Again, not sure about this one, but it's not something I'd dismiss out of hand like that. Often a victim comes forward after something else is alleged, because they feel safe finally opening up about it.

Assaulting a police office and assaulting your wife/girlfriend seems like a pretty solid history of LanternWaste Jul 2012 #6
