Alleged being only used in the court system, unless someone's on trial for the abuse it's not considered 'alleged.' It seemed that it was Casey's abuse, not her allegedly abusing her child, that was referring to, yes? (See what I did there?)
I was listening to an interesting NPR segment on rape victims in the justice system and one of the prosecutors made that pretty clear and I'm rather fond of the definition.
