Denial from what?
Dissociation is a real phenomena caused by trauma (one or prolonged instances)
Just because a lawyer used this as a defence doesn’t discount its validity as a real thing (in fact it’s more evidence that it is in fact legit).
It is unfortunate that you feel that using it as a defence wasn’t appropriate (it sounds like it wasn’t in that case, but I can’t judge).
However for myself and many many victims of child sexual assault and other trauma, dissociation is a very real thing.
