Unfortunately, while it seems simple, sometimes it really isn't. What happened with my sister is that they believed she had been raped, but the evidence as to who had raped her was considered circumstantial so they could not say without question which of the people who were brought up had done it. Which, you know, is not helpful to the person who was raped knowing that the person who had done it is still walking around free. At least the restraining order is working.

It seems more clear to me in this case, and the whole thing makes me feel sick to think about, but I can sort-of see why people can make those two statements separate.
