FWIW Regarding repressed memories, PTSD, hard-to-believe recounting from survivors ... I went my entire life with no conscious awareness whatsoever that my father raped me one (two?) times when I was 11. Events in my middle age prompted extreme efforts at therapy at which time some of the event, quite shocking to me, started to emerge. To this day, it is more a series of 'snapshot' images, rather than a 'video' type of recall. I can only imagine the psychological impact of far more severe abuse being inflicted upon much younger kids. These people should not be dismissed because their histories are so horrific and credibility-straining.

Excellent point. I'm so sorry what you had to endure.
