People can mine a number of reasons not to believe the allegation of an 18-year-old woman that a priest raped her a number of times, the first one in 2005.
Conspiracy theorists, for example, have already presented one line, the socio-political angle: the priest has been vocal in his opposition to some proposed government projects and the allegation is both payback and a way to ease him out of the scene.
Others have been simplistic: maybe the girl wanted money.
