I question your impartiality in the manner considering your 3 (so far) posts on the matter dismissing it entirely.

I too will reserve judgement until corroborating accounts are made. You may indeed be correct - but I will wait patiently. I don't think you're doing any of the accused any favors.
Some people claim similar things about rape and try to use that as evidence showing that the accusation is false ("she could just have kept her legs together"). It's a bit disgusting.
And there are good reasons for that, it's to protect innocent people from false accusations. It looks like he'd be well within his rights to sue over this allegation.
