Scott Michael Dunn: So what happens if allegations come from a breakup or divorce? How do you fight that?
Joshua Boardman: You certainly catalog it and you evaluate the chronology. What was the relationship like before that allegation was made? Is it something where there has never been any type of allegation like that before and now as soon as there’s tension or as soon as there’s dispute now that comes about? Okay.
