We believe her and he's a piece of shit. Don't be sorry for me and she's doing great! She's got a lot of supportive and loving uncles. It's crazy how fucking common the crime is and how a grown man can just... Tell the cops, it didn't happen. Case closed.

That's an unfortunately common occurrence when the police are brought in for crimes like this. Most sexual abuse is perpetrated by people who have a relationship with the victim, usually family. 1 in 5 women have been raped, a third of those women were raped between the ages of 11 and 17. 81% of women will experience some form of sexual harassment or assault in their lifetimes. Only 20-40% of rapes are reported to the police. Only about half of those result in arrest. 80% of the arrests are prosecuted. 58% of the prosecutions result in conviction. And 69% of the convicted offenders will serve time in jail/prison. So for every 100 rapists, about 3 of them will go to prison.

I feel that, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I won't take the opportunity to shill any specific outlook or worldview. Just know that there are people out there who have made it their life's mission to fix societal ills like these. While it may be tempting to condemn the entire human race, it's not particularly productive in the long term. The things you're thinking and feeling now can be turned into action down the road once you've had time to process them and deconstruct.

Other than losing his family, no. Nothing happened. The cops thought my sister was lying or there wasn't enough evidence.

I know why people are voting you down, but it's generally considered bad taste to ask details about sexual abuse. Giving details actually acts as a way for other pedophiles to get off.

I'll leave it vague but factual. He was babysitting her when she was young and he molested her. She told my sister about it and she called the cops. The police believed my father and made it a "he said she said" situation between my sister and father.
