So to be fair she was not lying, she was bein assaulted.... Abusers use threats as a form of control, to seek help then panic and blame someone else is something that happens in these cases.

No matter how old you are 19, 19, 39, 59 if you were assaulted, molested or abused as a child my advice would be to report it.
