He got a call from one of his attorneys during the live, but he didn’t pick up. At this point, I don’t trust him (or the mom) and I’m looking forward to the evidentiary hearings. I will be furious if he has filled Sophie’s head with false info
She seemed very distraught during the video in the car. No matter what she has to be kept away from that boyfriend. She was pleading for them to believe her. That's impossible to discount.
The only things that give me pause are that when the mom and grandmother (who I do not like at all) asked her why she didn't want to go, she didn't bring up the molestation until the end. And, how she described the act was a tiny bit unusual. But I'm not a psychologist. And when she said she found blood in her underwear in the morning - something made me feel she found that to be evidence of abuse, without an actual memory of the particular act that caused the blood.
I do feel it's easier to convince a smaller child that she or he has been abused. But this kid is almost 10. Much harder to do. And most of them are very coached but although I see evidence of manipulation with this dad, she did not seem coached in the car at all. She seemed credible.
