I'm not sure that's likely, but it IS possible. I see where Aractus is coming from.
Unfortunately, it's exactly that kind of head-in-the-sand attitude that allows abuse, sexual or otherwise, to go on. "He's such a nice boy, always keeps himself to himself. He'd never do anything like that."
I said it isn't likely. But I can understand being cautious about accusing someone of such a heinous thing without extremely clear cut evidence.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
