@98042630 "It's so difficult to come forward'. Yes. And so many, if not most, think that the person they know cannot do the things you mention. Because 'They was nice to the kids' and 'I never saw them like that'. If it's not their own experience with a person, the victim's experience is not accepted and can even be denied. Even by the police, sadly enough, if someone has the courage to file a complaint.
@98042630 Ricci is absolutely right, of course but I take it as a rebuttal of abusers & not necessarily those who mistakenly defend them.
