911 -- Allegedly

Lotsa confusion on what was alleged here.

Is it alleged that the woman was raped? No. She was raped. Someone broke into her house and raped her. That much was clearly established.

What is alleged is who raped her. A man did, obviously. But it's alleged that it was Andrew Caspinwall.

So you should say Caspinwall allegedly raped the victim. Or the victim was raped, allegedly by Caspinwall.
