Ms Altman claims her brother "groomed and manipulated" her and performed sex acts on her over several years, including "rape, sexual assault, molestation, sodomy, and battery", according to a court filing seen by the BBC.

Ms Altman said she sustained "great bodily injury", severe emotional distress and depression.

She added that she had incurred numerous medical bills because of medical and mental health treatment for her injuries.

In the UK, victims or alleged victims of sexual offences have a right to lifelong anonymity. The UK legislation which creates this right does not apply to people in the US.

Ahh, the usa. Where law enforcement doesn't do the investigating, instead you have to go and fight in court before they get off their ass.

Why can't you just report a thing and they get on it?

Ahh the usa. Where if you are at the mercy of the courts who descided that multible federal offenses and attempted coup are A-OK since you can't prosecute someone in power.

It always has been. Seizing power means you have the power, whatever the laws say. Anyone that doesn't like that needs to take it from you.
