abuse allegations
Charges of mistreatment
Abuse allegations are claims that someone has committed abuse—physical, sexual, emotional, or otherwise.
The phrase typically appears in news coverage and legal contexts: The senator denied the abuse allegations.
Unlike a formal charge, an allegation is an accusation that hasn't been proven, which is why reporting often includes qualifiers like "alleged" or "accused."
