Annie Altman accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, starting when she was three and he ​was 12. She said the "last acts of sexual abuse and rape" occurred ​when Sam Altman was an adult. He is now 40.

They always go for the kids dont they. I dont know how credible this Annie Altman is, the family says she is mentally ill. But they would say that, wouldnt they.

It only comes across that way for idiots that don't read. It's actually important, because a case against Altman has to be very strong. If everyone refuses to talk about the flaky part of the accusation because of feelings, then the whole case is likely to fail when it hits any kind of judicial or media pushback.

Misunderstandings at a broad scale are the fault of the communicator, not the receiver.

In the case where people respond without reading based on a kneejerk reaction to a couple of key words, I'd say it is the fault of the reader. Communication takes two parties.
