Unfortunately, in our culture, you are correct.

Most mainstream members will do this:

Assume the bishop is correct and the kid is lying.

Assume it was a sexual morality issue,

and forever brand the kid.

When in reality, checking behind the scenes sources reveals it really is an attendance issue and a power struggle between a silly kid and a mullah bishop.
