    The “r*ping blob” saying “I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, but this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen” - sounds a lot like denial, deflection and victim blaming - having read her blog all I can see is just someone trying to heal from very real SA trauma and sharing her experience so others know they’re not alone. And suing her abuser for said abuse isn’t a “pursuit of a financial bonanza” but a very real recognition of the trauma she’s been left to deal with while her abuser is praised for his ingenuity and given a “boys will be boys” excuse for r*pe.

      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.
