I find it fairly odd that, for a group like atheists that tend to prize evidence and deep thought about things, PZ Myers would offer such ghostly, detail-free accounts for anything, let alone such a serious allegation. It becomes very hard to actually form an opinion on this thing.

But if you suppose for a moment that this actually happened, giving an detailed account would make it easy for people to identify you. Then you'll be dealing with a lot of negative attention and something very private and traumatizing would come out in the open. But at the same time, you want to warn other women, so you tell someone to spread this sort of vague accusations.

I mean, that is, supposing it happened.

What I find unbelievable is that 5 different people told this girl that they were raped as well. Why would they tell her that? How did they even know who she was if she's been hiding her identity so well? And if all 5 of these girls are her friends, it seems very unlikely that they would all fall victim to the same person.
