How much actual evidence was there at the time? It's easy to look back at something that happened 20, 30 or 40 year ago and say it was obvious that something happened, but that's with hindsight. At the time, there were rumours, but you know as well as I that you can't charge someone based upon rumour, and there may have been little or no evidence of what happened.
While it seems likely that there were people hiding this evidence (he did have friends in high places, after all), has anyone been charged or convicted of this yet?
