I didn't ask for more information, I just cautioned others about believing it blindly based on one sentence.
Here is my comment:
Maybe not anymore but that was defintely the case during the height of #metoo movement. Depp v. Heard case really highlighted that sometimes accusers are the abusers and trusting blindly can hurt just as much as not trusting at all.
If someone decides to make a public accusation, they should not be surprised that someone asks for more than their word for it. And if they don't want to answer those questions the proper venue is reporting a crime and not talking about it publically.
