With respect, the only way to properly investigate is to start by making the victim feeling sincerely listened to and believed. Often, a person experiencing such traumatic experiences (and I have seen sexual assault allegations but those in Kane’s case are … why would someone lie about that) have trouble describing sequential events and need emotional safety to have a fair investigation. It is not as simple as taking down notes of what they say and go verify it. So, I agree that to start the view should be to believe women and other victims.
It merits saying that the traditional investigation process and subsequent litigation has often been doubly traumatic to victims without being very concerned about truth.
At least in criminal or civil assault cases, confirmation and other evidence can come afterwards. Though these cases are often without “hard evidence” victims have to explain many times in different ways. Family cases like Kane’s do lend themselves to mud slinging. That being said she has legal counsel, hopefully counseling, and likely good support.
