At least not as dispensed by mankind.
My son's accuser has asked him to 'just let it go'. She is sorry for what she did - or at least sorry it didn't get her what she wanted - and "wants to be a family again".
My son has forgiven her, 'forgiven' defined as not harboring anger or desire for vengeance. None of us will go along with the pretense it never happened. My son still registers as a sex offender, and will the rest of his life. He's not allowed to 'let it go', and she doesn't feel sorry enough about it to go to court and make it right.
She was involved in a horrific car accident, and has had time to reflect on what she did, I imagine. Whether we foolish beings are capable of decerning truth, or justice, right or wrong doesn't matter. There is definately a higher force that can, and does.
Like the biblical Joseph, my son has become a better person for this adversity - adversity is a profound teacher. It is a unending source of pain for me to have watched what he was forced to endure, but he has become a far more wonderful, better person because of it.
This is why, Maxx, I beg of you - don't let go of God's hand in this.
