I am waiting for LE to tell us whether JS had any knowledge before forming an opinion or making a public judgement. Personally, I would rather be silent than wrong about an accusation like that.
At this point, IMO she appears to me like an easy target for a predator. From what we have seen and have been told by LE, she is a single mom, lower income, very naive, we heard discussion of mental health concerns with both parent and child and there appears to be prescription drug overuse in the house.

I think that it is important to share some statistics regarding children reporting CSA, as it is more likely that a child will
not report CSA to their parent. From the link below:
1 in 10 children will be sexually abused by the time they are 18
Only 38% of children will report the abuse to another person. Of these 38%, 40% will only tell a close friend, not an adult, parent or authority. Most will never report to an adult or authority. (Overall 77% won’t tell an adult/their parent if my math is correct)
Children living in single-parent households are 20 times more likely to be abused.
Perpetrators report that they look for passive, quiet, troubled, lonely children from single parent or broken homes.
