      I’m not sure I’ve heard any child sexual abuse case where i was like “oh yeah that seems plausible”. They are always unbelievably heinous and mind-blowing to me, so would be curious why this one seems particularly unbelievable

      From what I’ve been reading it seems pretty likely they were sexually abused. Do you have any counter evidence? Even the judge in this said that the new evidence “slightly supports” the idea of abuse they just don’t think that it would have resulted in a change to the outcome of the case.
