In the scenario I posted, I'll recap, the man (a copper) and wife drifted a bit apart due to the unsocial hours and the bloke got off with a nice WPC. The wife got a bit stroppy and corrupted the children so that they repeated what the wife had said they'd told her.

There's no evidence other than what's been said in accusation.

As to "social media" identifying the "offender", the local news outlets reported that "a policeman has been suspended following allegations of sexual assault"........

Faced with such a scenario, how would you defend yourself apart from denying you'd "done anything"?
