Reply To: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing

In cases where the kid is lying, the roles are reversed: the kid is the perp, and the person alleged to be a molester is the victim. The problem with forums like this is that too many people assume that all accusers are telling the truth.

Yes, that is true!

There are very few people who I trust more than Rav Yaakov Horowitz. I think he has his finger on the pulse.

IMHO, I dont think R’ Horowitz would go as far as asking outsiders to support the accuser unless he had no doubt of the sincerity of her claims, based not only on what the accuser says, but on the experiences of others (plural) who have no relationship to the accuser, who have come forward either publicly or privately.

For R’ Horowitz to have asked for support of the alleged victim, if he wasnt as sure as he could be, would make him an evil person. He is neither stupid or evil.
