I am sorry this happened to you. it's not your fault.

this might be survivable as a relation, but I think the odds are low.

It has little to do with the poly aspect and everything to do with a lot of people process these sorts of things.

If you partners' can't respect "I do not want to have a conversation about him" then it will probably end the relationship fast

If you can't take them being friends with him the relationship will end.

it may or may not be helpful for understanding that people tend to take accusations like that with great difficultly. especially if the story is a he said she said accusation.

I have deep amount of experience with having to navigate large groups dynamics where blackballing people for sexual attacks is a thing.

people's inherent sense of fairness kick in and tend to not want to change their fence balanced positions unless something else/more happens.

My guess is that the same reason is why the cops told you you don't have a case.

If you want to try and rescue the relationships, My suggestion:

  • Acknowledge their fairness.

  • Ask them to acknowledge that you sincerely believe that this event happened to you.

  • Ask them to acknowledge that at this time, your healing process needs to not have him brought up. Whether or not they want to keep him as a friend is up to them, but that you need to keep separate mentally, physically, and emotionally from him. if they are really supportive you can point them toward books like this (Obl: I haven't read that one, I can't find the two I have read)

  • Be honest with yourself about whether or not you can accept they keeping him as a friend. if you can't, just end things now.

  • If they can't respect that boundary, then end things
