These kinds of cases are very troubling.   What evidence, what proof would exist to substantiate the allegations, when the allegations are made 10 years after the alleged abuse ended?

I would be hard pressed to vote to convict anyone of anything, based solely on allegations by a single person.  It is very frustrating that we know so very little about this case.   Were any of her brothers or sisters willing to testify, to confirm that abuse did happen?  Based on her comments, it would appear that indeed might be the case here.  

I would certainly hope that there had to be more evidence than what has been described here in press reports.
