You know the weirdest thing about these child abuse stories? They never name the abusers. Wouldn't you think if she had really been gang raped she'd by eager to use the national platform to bring some belated justice to this rapist pop band? I do understand being too scared to tell anyone at 14, but why not now?

She is not the one publishing her story, the guardian is. You think maybe they told her they can't name names because of the threat of defamation lawsuits?

That would certainly be a big risk if the story is made up, yes.

This is is what news used to sound like, before we began spiraling into a global economic collapse.
