  I have no idea if it happened or not, but one does not have reliable memories before 5. It’s just a human thing. Sometimes people have a vague image but they can’t place it in time, and it’s usually a reconstructed memory based on a story or a photo.
  Basing an accusation like this on a 3-yo’s memory is dicey. It actually weakens the accusation imo. That it continued and she clearly remembers it later is very different and he should be investigated thoroughly.

    It doesnt matter, she was raped between 3 and 13. Are you going to say that this is something a human being forget?

      It doesn’t matter because if she was raped she was raped and he should face the consequences. But yes. At 3 you don’t remember stuff. She would have forgotten that. No one has real memories from that age.

        Look, just because you were born too stupid to remember stuff from when you were young, let alone read actual research papers, doesn’t mean the rest of us are.

        You are trying to have a sensible discussion about early memories in a conversation about alleged rape.

        Save the argument for another opportunity because it comes across as you being defensive about Altman.

      You’re the ignorant one here and you need to check your knee-jerk reaction and actually try reading before you respond. I indicated that using a 3 or 4 year old’s memory is dicey, but that she was clearly raped when older and reliably remembers that, and so he should be investigated/prosecuted. But it damages the case against him using unnecessarily flakey memories.
