Her abuser was convicted, therefore there is nothing "alleged" about the sexual assault

I can't believe I have to spell this out, but I do, because this keeps coming up again and again. Her nanny was convicted of sexual assault. Therefore, it's not a mere "allegation". We don't say she "claims" she was assaulted, we say she was assaulted. If you need further proof than NPR (as though they would let a claim like that go without verifying it...), check the database yourself.[1] The name of the nanny is "Waldina Flores". Really, that Sun Sentinel article should be enough proof. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

I rather suspect that the person responsible for pushing the "claims" wording is not interested in verifiable facts. DuncanHill (talk) 21:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

I suspect they do prefer alternative facts as well, but I thought it was important to lay this out here in black-and-white terms, especially for any protecting administrators. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
