You're not addressing the points I make about trauma affecting memory and how memory in the best of cases changes as we get older...

Nor are you addressing my point about the vast vast VAST majority of child sexual abuse being without witnesses or material evidence because the child doesn't have the wherewithal to save evidence (usually doesn't even know about crime proceedings or what evidence even is) and the adult in question is able to create situations where they are able to avoid detection.

This is not a question of being found guilty in a court of law. Nobody is in court. The accused is dead.

You don't have to believe she's telling the truth. You could leave it up to "well only God knows, I don't know enough to say either way". But no. Instead you go with "she must be lying and faking it for money". I think that's a bit far.
