AlmightySnoo 🐢🇮🇱🇺🇦OpenAI investors' race to reinstate Sam Altman makes tech expert Gary Marcus feel 'sick to his stomach'
blindbunnyProbably shouldn’t rehire someone you probably fired over sexually assaulting his sister…
There is a post on lesswrong which compiles the accusations made by the sister. Having worked with many incest victims, family scapegoats and Cinderellas I’ll say the story is familiar to what I’ve heard before and therefore credible.
Is it usual that all the family and even therapists side against alleged victim? I think it's not impossible if the person is so traumatized and troubled to the point that the family rejects her but I struggle to believe that is the usual case.

You might want to watch the “Britney vs Spears” documentary (though that’s a bit different and doesn’t have to do with rape, Britney was the rich person and her family conspired against her to take over her wealth, had a psychiatrist fabricate a report against her that subsequently just disappeared from the court files and even picked a lawyer for her that would side with them).
Going back to this story, the “shht, let’s not ruin the future of our child prodigy, so even if he did something bad to you you will keep your mouth shut” is not that rare among families. Conspiracies by families to cover up rape done by one of their members do happen:
I think you clearly can show that it's possble but that doesn't mean it's likely the articles suggest it but they don't have any statistics to back it up. there is no equivalence between being poor and conspiring to get someone's money and cutting out someone from their inheritance.
I completely disgree with your view that if you have money you have to help family even if they are radioactive to you. in some cases it's best to take distance. especially if the other person is so troubled that whenever you help it just backfires because they can't stop the drama.
I don't doubt that most sex workers have trauma issues or even childhood issues, the part I'm not finding easy to accept is that it's likely that the family would usually side with the accuser.
