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.
- 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

It's not uncommon for people to stay quiet about their abuse until adulthood. Also very unfortunately common for people especially family members of the accused to not believe them.

This whole affair stinks of mental illness with a sense of being cheated out of money.
And would someone please explain to me why this isn't a police matter if it involves rape allegations...

  They don't do anythinhg about it. Literally the clearance rate of rape cases is less than 20%. Your only recource to punish someone for the harm caused is civil court.
  
  So? Of course, you go to the police first regardless if it involves something as serious as rape...
- Exactly how? They article gives almost zero information surrounding the allegations. They just immediately accused the woman of making up the allegations.
  
  Yeah ok but it don't exactly speak well for her credibility if this isn't handled as a police matter...

#metoo should have been an armed movement

There's already video footage of it? https://youtu.be/l-mhPFEr-Bw?feature=shared

There are already plenty of reasons to dislike and boycott Altman, regardless of this matter.

The guy that's been raping the Internet for the last three or so years also raped a people? I'm shocked! SHOCKED!
