[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, let your adult son handle this himself no matter if the allegation is true or not. You have no way of knowing that anyway. He’s an adult and is capable of managing this on his own for the simple reason that he is grown up.

I know it’s hard to let go, but you did the best you could.[/quote]

My son is not, in fact, an adult. Not even close. Also, you're a jerk.[/quote]

NP and the problem with the scenario here is that for someone your son's age (let's say 16 max since you say he's not even close to being an adult) and an allegation from years ago as you say (let's say 3 years ago so he would be max 13) is that he probably doesn't even remember the person to whom it relates.  Three years in teen time is a long time.  He's even less likely to remember the specific interaction with that person on that date or even if he is the person to whom the interaction relates.  Maybe this girl was assaulted but your son left the party before it happened or she honestly thinks it was him but it was actually someone else.  It's much easier to ascertain the truth in these types of cases if the allegation is timely which is one reason why we have statutes of limitations for crimes.[/quote]
