I think the sentence will kill him. The biggest trouble is here, how many more ' dirty raincoat men' that's what l called them, when l got abused in my early days.
The sad thing is that WHY didn't the victims come forward earlier. Yes, l could have told people earlier, but the guy died over thirty years ago - the only one who knows is my wife.

Not wanting to guess too much (having had the luck never to be in that situation), but the theme seems to be that victims felt they wouldn't be believed, and in many cases the abusers told them that over and over again.
Think back to when the first Saville rumours came out. Plenty of people point blank refused to believe them, and tarred the victims as "money grabbers". Who's your average copper going to believe, a vulnerable young girl or that man off the telly who just happens to know the chief constable?
