    How do you define credible in this context?

    And how do you know that she and/or the former associates don’t lie?

    Do you mean an medical examination years after the abuse happened? What is that supposed to accomplish?

      A victim giving a deposition under oath is considered a credible accusation on its face.

        I’ve never understood how a oath somehow creates a form of credibility with out some other proof to back it up

        It’s still just words. I know lying under oath is a crime and all that. But when most shit just gets settled and rarely actually has teeth towards the rich or famous.

        It feels like an oath is just a pretend make believe thing that only the deranged actually think is real.
