Knowing someone who was abused, her ability to cope with a) the abuse
itself; b) knowing that because the perp was highly respected, she would
not be believed; c) lack of any evidence other than her word against
his; d) the circumstances which would have had dreadful impact in many
directions; she did not speak up at the time.

And it is quite possible she would never have said anything. But
eventually she did.

That is entirely understandable in my book. And results in the
possibility, even the likelihood, of multiple offences before anyone
does break ranks.

I find it all a bit strange unless there is some money to be had. sorry to
sound so cynical, but to me, no matter how well respected he was these
accusations should have been brought forward during his life in my view.

After all what can be done now?
