When my brother was (unjustly) accused of sexual assault, his lawyer said, first thing to know is your marriage is over and... everything after that didn't matter to him. When talking to the social worker to work through his near nervous breakdown over it, she said she knew right away he was innocent. She said when the accused says "what do I do to keep my family together" they're innocent. When they say "what do I do to stay out of jail" they are guilty. Of course, we don't know if the guy in this case asked this question, made more complicated (and yet LESS complicated) if the divorce proceedings came first and the accusations second. And, by the way, his marriage wasn't over, and is still intact 20 years later. His daughter got over being batshit crazy and is now a good daughter and mother.
