12. Oh, it's almost certainly no about the money, which he certainly won't ever see much of.

It's about ruining her life. He is obviously bound and determined to do that. I am unsure whether or not he is justified in continuing to try to do that, given that 25 years has passed and that she was an idiotic teen when she accused him.

I think I have a problem with what he's doing. He can't let it go. He can't forgive. And maybe he should. Especially if she has proved to be of some value to society.

Because what she accused him of was so absurd, given that she had never even met him, how much could his reputation still be suffering after 25 years?

I am torn between what he has the legal right to do, and how he might have some residual anger (that one could argue IS justified), and what perhaps is the WISEST and most compassionate course of action. He is letting this eat at him even now. That can't be healthy.
