Sadly, this is pretty damn common for sexual abuse within a family. A big-ass, awkward elephant in the room.

I dont think criminal charges are being filed against him. It seems like a lawsuit seeking money.

You shut the fuck up it's a legitimate question

If you've somehow missed all the #metoo cases, it is very common for people to just hide their trauma away after it has initially been rejected by their family, if they bother to tell anyone at all.

THAT BEING SAID: I wouldn't assume he's at fault just yet, because either case sounds likely. She could have mental issues and that's why she says shit like this, or she could have mental issues from the trauma.

And he must have seen or have done to him some fucked up shit in order to do that.

No her abuse went on until she was way older. (hate to sound like that guy) but the Liberal news outlets covered up or didn't touch on her horrible actions as that she did as they grew up.

Interestingly, according to the article, the Act under which she filed the lawsuit set the deadline for the statute of limitations for civil and criminal cases for survivors of child sexual abuse to August, but recently extended it to next January. Cutting it pretty close.

Lets say for arguments sake, its true. How on earth does the legal system deal with this? Does he get tried as an adult even though he did it as a 9-12 yr old child, 40 years ago? How do you go about proving this? Im genuinely asking.

Reading more, so apparently Adam and his mother are saying she has been trying to file lawsuits against her family for monetary gain for a while now?

While I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, 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."
"By spreading numerous untrue stories about us in pursuit of a financial bonanza, she has tortured our entire family and estranged herself from all of us," he continued. "I will fight this groundless and offensive lawsuit and work to put this to rest once and for all."
His mother Karen Savage also issued a statement via Brettler, saying, "It makes me very sad to say this, but my daughter suffers from severe mental health challenges, and it's devastating that she's putting Adam and our entire family through this. Adam is a good man, and I support him completely."

That is unfortunately common. I wasnt sexually assaulted, but my older brother viscously harrassed me throughout my childhood without much intervention and then attacked me as an adult and I was told that I mustve been blowing it out of proportion. People dont like the image of their family disrupted.

It doesn't deal with this at all, at least not criminally anyway. According to a quick google search, in New York state the statute of limitations for child sex abuse expires when the victim turns 28. So if this is true, he already got away with it decades ago if she's 51 now.

The best they could do is investigate him and try to find other victims who were more recent and thus the statute of limitations hasn't expired on them yet and go after him for those crimes. But of course for that to work there has to be other victims to find.

There's nothing the legal system can do since it's impossible to prove that it even happened.

It would be nearly impossible to prove he did that to her, especially since this quote seems like the family is against her also.

If she has indeed filed multiple frivolous lawsuits in order to try to gain money, it certainly doesn't seem like this is a lawsuit that would work out in her favor

I gotta say, I'm having a hard time buying it. I feel like if this were true their mother would just remain silent about it, not come out and publicly say her daughter is lying about being sexually abused.

I know that's not proof that it didn't happen, but it just seems very fishy to me.

How the fuck do you rape a girl at 9? I could see an 11 year old doing it, but 9? I had absolutely no interest in sex at all until 11. Do some people start getting sexual desires much earlier?

Yep. One statement from an alleged victim is not enough for me to label someone a rapist. Not saying they shouldn't look into it, but let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Maybe, but I feel like if that were the case she'd just keep quiet.

It'd be pretty cruel to knowingly lie and deny that your child was abused. That doesn't mean it can't happen but......I dunno. Just seems off to me

Is it really a dumb question?
I would understand that she couldn't report the crime at the time because she was too young to understand the very nature of the crime (or maybe she might of viewed it as something normal).
But if she was truly aware of the crime, why did she not speak out about it? Incest isn't something new, and it's outlawed in many states...
