Still doubt that people can have vivid but false memories of supposedly
traumatic events?
Check out this article in the Guardian.

From the article:

|Some people claimed to have seen non-existent CCTV footage of the
|bus exploding in Tavistock Square in July 2005, while others gave
|detailed descriptions of footage which did not exist.

I'm still more than a bit skeptical about making the leap from
"memories of something awful seen on TV are frequently false" to
"memories of a childhood full of sexual abuse are frequently false."

It's possible.  But it's a heck of an extrapolation.
