Now that we found out she is the victim, dcum is now tearing OP apart?

It would be to manipulate her to continue to engage with you to get more details.
Or to manipulate the family to blow up in drama now that you aren't a part of it.
Lots of motivations to be had.

any way this has all been really hard and the idea that someone surfaces trauma for the purpose of being mean to other people seems crazy.

Except you aren't telling her that, you are playing games to where its hard to take you seriously even if it did happen.

+1 OP is playing a lot of games. It sounds like there was inappropriate behavior but she could also be manipulated by a bad therapist. You either tell your sister or move on. Stop with the games.

I have already been a black sheep for the way I have dealt with the trauma and so I am not willing to share further. Hate me or don't believe me if you want, but don't leave your kids alone with him and mom- because mom knew too and she refused to help me and now refuses to remember it".
I might be pissed if I were your sis but I would believe it- and even if I didn't- I would never leave my kids alone with them- which is your goal.
Yes, this. Please OP say something this direct to your sister. I know it’s difficult to talk about but for the sake of her kids please say something along these lines.
