But if i heard it different times from different sources I would hope that I would not keep ignoring it.
This is an honest statement and part of the problem. It is hard to imagine anyone raping a child, much less a friend. But, it is even harder for a child to disclose it happened, and highly unlikely (though not impossible) that a child or an adult would make a false allegation of such conduct. This is why it is so important for people to learn about and talk about sexual abuse of children and how to prevent it and how to handle it when it has happened and it comes to light.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
