Re: Why would anyone come forward now
Hi @jay2 the reason people do not come forward sooner is 3 fold, the abuse is covered up by the abusers, when you do tell someone you are not believed because you are considered a trouble maker and punished and the shame of it.
It is not easy to confront the people who are considered by society as "respected members of the community"

Re: Why would anyone come forward now
You're so right with this - it feels like another kick to the face. It hurts my heart, for others and myself that have not yet reported the abusers, for those who have reported and weren't taken seriously and for those who got let down by the system. I know, mine will all walk this Earth freely. It's sickening.

Re: Why would anyone come forward now
Hey @Razzle I have been on a jury and it is incredibly hard to make a decision when all the facts are not presented or there are gaps in what is - but the question remains in this case ...how can we believe in our justice system where a jury verdict is overturned - that is now down to the prosecution case and the evidence they presented - guilty or not it certainly does not make it a fair system for victims to come forward.

Not over yet, he is not completely off the hook . He is going to have to face 10 civil cases. Hopefully the catholic church will get sued for zillions. jay2
