Yes, I understand. I have no problem with skepticism - too many innocent men are in jail for rapes they didn't commit. I just think the skepticism can be channeled into verification - in a discreet way. It appeared to me that you knew all the parties involved - so that those who didn't think the story quite passed the smell test could have contacted you privately before needlessly wounding an already damaged sheep.
Thankfully many showed compassion, as you said. They overall response was much better than that received by abuse victims who deign to post on Community Chapel's forum, where they are basically told to "take a hike."
