Ann Altman filed a lawsuit alleging her brother sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006.

The lawsuit, which was filed on 6 January in a US District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, alleges that the abuse started when she was three and Mr Altman was 12.

In a joint statement on X, with his mother and two brothers, Mr Altman denied the allegations, saying “all of these claims are utterly untrue.”

In the filing, which has been seen by the BBC, Ms Altman alleged that the abuse, which took place over many years, included rape.

    I am not speaking to the veracity of charges in the following, merely my own experiences: Parents know, even facilitate or participate. The abuse creates mental health challenges, and the family uses that to deny allegations.

    This is, imo, one of many forms of “Satanic Ritual Abuse,” child sacrifice, because make no mistake, caregivers profit from this in some way, be it financially (the golden child is groomed for success and devotion, the scapegoat for mh issues and plausible deniability), when it is to older men, it is most definitely for financial/social/career benefit.

    If you are having mh issues, ask yourself: who benefits from this narrative?

    Eta: this is metaphor, hello!
