It's possible that they're untrue, but the rest of the family wouldn't know.
It's also worth pointing out that many people with mental health challenges as adults experienced sexual or other abuse as a child. So even if she does have mental health issues now, that doesn't mean that her claims are untrue.
- the rest of the family wouldn’t know
  They're not just saying they don't know of any abuse. They're saying she has a history of trying to extort relatives by threatening to make accusations of sexual abuse.
  
  I get that. But it's also possible that that inspiration came from somewhere. We don't know one way or another.
  
  The abuse might even be the reason for the mental illness.
  
  Or vice versa. People with mental illness often make for easy victims.
  
  Exactly my point, yes.
- If anything both of those facts are supporting details imo.
  A family quick to deny and not support their family member?
  A history of clear mental anguish?
  That's exactly the people this stuff has happened to
