Please check in here so I can put you on Ignore.
The stats on child sexual abuse -- one out of three women molested as children, one out of seven men molested as boys -- are such that "nobody went to jail" is an absolutely insane reason to disbelieve a child sexual assault survivor. (No, I am not going to provide the source for the stats - I've known them for a long time and you can google them yourself.)
The stats on ADULT rape victims who know their attackers and watch them go to jail is damn near zero. The stats on teenage girls with video evidence out on social media seeing the people who did it go to jail are outnumbered by the ones who commit suicide after being bullied about it (at least from what I see in the news).
Do I believe Woody Allen molested a seven year old girl? Yes. I find her credible.
And if you don't, and think the way our amazing criminal justice system treats victims of sexual abuse is the way to determine credibility NOW, let alone twenty or thirty years ago, speak up here, because so help me, I will fill up my ignore list with joy because seriously, it is a level of stupid I don't need to see.
