This isn't a top trump situation, this is a sickness that has blighted children and teens from all walks of life. Girls and boys.
There will always be. A tiny minority who will try to capitalise on it from all sections.
They don't really matter in the scheme of things, believing children , all children is paramount.
Why have you said that " in this instance " they should be believed ?”
I went through all this with you before on page 3 and 4 in this thread. You misquoted and twisted context of my posts then and you are now repeating the same again here. Where have i written "in this instance" they should be believed? Where have i 'implied' to use your term, a 'top trump' situation?
Fwiw this particular thread topic concerns the sexual abuse and raping of young boys. As far as i'm aware there have not been any girls abused by Bennell or any other club employee. I'm not sure what reason you have for shoehorning every other possible figure or scenario into the equation but am quite aware that child abuse per se takes place with both genders committed by male and female abusers.

I think you've not understood what i said in reply to that poster which was "that's generally (in cases) where there
is doubt". In relation to this particular case, the football abuse, i've not yet heard or read anything to make me doubt.
Hope thats clarified it for you?
