Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Weak case. I wanted it to be true (sorry) just so Sam gets punished, but.. yeah, the more likely story is her sister is as crazy as him.
I'm interested as to why you find the case to be weak when the case has yet to be heard by a court or anyone else?
This is a very serious issue, the rape of a child by a close family member, throwing around words like crazy before a hearing does not help victims of pedophilia.
Because everyone in her life is against her. That is very telling. No one confirms her story or sides with her.
That is very untypical in such scenarios because it's very easy to defend the victim.
I thought you would have more considering how strongly worded your statement condemning Altman's was.
Is this just your own uninformed opinion or what are you basing this on? If you had any real knowledge of how these cases play out in court you would be aware that parents often claim no knowledge of the abuse as it paints them as a terrible parent. It is very common for parents and other family members to claim ignorance for a multitude of reasons. Have you even considered the fact that the accused is a billionaire who the parents have a vested interest in keeping inside?
Watch your mouth in future, uniformed views like yours are a big part of why pedophilia so often stays in the dark and victims fear coming forward.
Wow, you seriously should read more on this case (or should I say - her parasitic lifestyle)
I will elaborate no further after your "watch your mouth" because I'm sensing aggressivity (emotional), which implies you are not being objective.
We will see how the lawsuit will end.
