No one can physically prove that they have been raped/abused years ago - but the fact & reality is it does and has happened many times.. People kept quiet for fear of retribution & a variety of other reasons/circumstances ..There are also those that cry rape/abuse and claim it happened when it did not, or was consensual .... Of course its not always possible to have facts or proof in these cases/situations and its one persons word against another - even harder to prove if the alleged offender is deceased ...In the case of CF ( as JS) it appears there has been enough evidence to prove they were guilty of inappropriate acts with young ( non consenting) females ..... Maybe his wife was totally unaware, oblivious & maybe naively so - only she really knows and can answer that ....... I do sympathise with the genuine victims - but I also sympathise with the accused that are innocent and their families..
