Reply to comment by thelibrariangirl in TIL American ballet dancer Tanaquil Le Clercq contracted polio at age 27 in 1956 and was confined to a wheelchair. Le Clercq began studying with George Balanchine at age 12 and married him at age 23. When she was 15, Balanchine choreographed a dance for a polio benefit which presaged her illness. by WonderWmn212

So it's fair to just assume that someone did something horrible like that without a shred of evidence other than "well that's probably what he did." I hope you're never on a jury.

lol. The evidence is that he met her when she was 12.

Hope you’re never around preteens.
