John and Leadfingers,

If "bringing the details of this out into the light of day" involves repeating some hurtful accusations, then I declare emphatically that as a member of the Mudcat public, unless the problem is recurrent I have no Need To Know.

Look, either:
(a) it's serious enough to involve the police, in which case available evidence is already on the record, or
(b) it happened, was handled privately, stopped happening, and life (and healing of wounds) can go on.

If such an event happens again, we can record what we read and report it.

In the meantime, with all due respect, accusation and speculations in this atmosphere don't smell good.
