On the other side, I have a relative who was actually raped by her stepdad. No one believed her until she ended up pregnant.
I honestly don't know what the best answer is in such cases.
In the US, it's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law no matter what. However, that forces kids back into these situations until the perpetrator is caught with enough evidence to prosecute.
The law is a very blunt instrument that doesn't serve families well. Family law needs a total overhaul, because it forces adversarial all-or-nothing positions, tying money to custody and preventing common sense solutions. Whoever loses custody loses their kids and their freedom.
