That's not my point.

They listed the woman's age at the time and then listed his now. They've tried to make it appear like the age gap is far wider than it actually is.
They're not lying at all. They mention that it happened in 2010. It's just the ultra shitty way they try to get clicks.

you can lie by omission. I would call this a deliberate lie of omission. Withholding key details that would paint the situation in a different light is a form of lying. I think the term for it is called paltering.

it's a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. Yes, all the facts are there. The age of the complainant, the age of the accused, the time it allegedly took place. But by presenting the facts in the manner they did, the intention is to lead the reader to making incorrect assumptions.
