This fallacy reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_hypotheses_suggested_by_the_data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_hypotheses_suggested_b... in particular. If you didn't have any reason to look for wrongdoing other than a statistical dataset, that same dataset is never sufficient to confirm the resulting suspicion.
