I am having lots of memories resurfacing and am having very disturbed sleep due to anxiety and associated nightmares.
Have other found these types headlines triggering?

Yeah for the opposite reason. Having been recently falsely accused of abuse, not sexual, by an abusive person, I find any accusations of abuse unsettling. I don't doubt any of these particular stories, however not everyone who cries abuse has been abused, so that's what scary.
