There is no real court case. There's too many holes in the story.
Also, no trauma and evidence (beyond the words of an 11-year old). "Innocent until proven guilty" will stand.
Your friend might want to arrange a counter-suit for defimation of character (having it implied that he molested an 11-year old)

HavocAnd the ****ed up thing is, she doesn't even need to prove it happened, your friend needs to prove it DIDN'T happen...

Not by law... but to the general public, probably.
"Shouldn't a medical examiner and/or a shrink be able to deduce whether she was molested? From what I understand, those sort of incidents leave mental and physical scars."
"Actually from what I understand, children who've been molested often thought when it was happening that it was some kind of game - either that or they just didn't realise the gravity of the situation. It's only later on that they realise the seriousness of what happened and come to terms with it."
^ While both of these are true, an 11-year old who can imediatly say "I've been molested" would have physical trauma {or at least physical evidence}. If there was a "mental block" to make them think it wasn't wrong, it wouldn't disapear in under 30 minutes.
"he shouldn't of lifted her by the arms and shoved her out of the room"
^ Why not, Paramite Mask? He did not harm her in any way {assuming he isn't lying about what he did}. All he did was remove an annoyance.

Is it possible she just misused the word "molested?"

...actually, that's a much better case. Get her to define "molestation" {on court in her own words}
