That has really piqued my interest. How did this happen? The article says charges were dropped, but does not explain the wider context or how these very serious charges got so far with no evidence. I found some more information from an article[0] from 2018. The only evidence appears to have been the testimony of a young child. The disturbing allegations, like a needle in the eye and multiple rapes, would have presumably left physical evidence of injury. That article I linked makes no update about the charges being dropped. That falsely accused family has been split up for two years because of this, yet their exoneration didn't seem to get much coverage at all. I would really like to understand the sequence of events that initiated this. I find it unlikely that the kid came home one day and came up with this completely unprompted. Do you know of any resources for gaining a better contextual understanding of this bizarre incident? Surely somebody has written about this case, but I haven't found it yet. I'm torn between thanking you for pointing this out and cursing you because I'm not going to be able to think about anything else until I figure out how this went on for so long.
