[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 116791, member: 1991"] This does not mean that they have not been believed. You need to make that abundantly clear. it's just that trying to prosecute beyond reasonable doubt from a LEGAL point of view, is a different matter entirely. Look at it this way - they have told someone, they are believed, they do not have to go to court over it but they can now work to put it behind them without having to publicly relive it. At least you have investigated this possibility. it's better to have at least checked it out, than to always wonder. And there are other legal avenues should you choose to give them a try - the standard of proof is not so high in a civil suit, for example. However, this is an area where the US legal system is different to the Australian/British system. For us, there is no statute of limitations on incest and rape. Marg [/QUOTE]
