Who are we inclined to believe in this situation; someone who has everything to lose (Max), or someone who has nothing to lose? Obviously I have no specific insight on this situation, but it just got me thinking that since rape is such a touchy subject to bring up, as was mentioned in the article, the girl who lived next to him could have easily fabricated this situation just for the attention, knowing full well that there would not be many questions asked. Just food for thought.
