I think it's probably a situation where you have to weigh weigh whether or not you have enough of a story to actually take them down without victims on the record. It can be a sort of "if you aim for the king you best not miss." A story that isn't taken to be credible can ruin the life of a victim.

People have a hard enough time believing victims when they present their faces: it's much harder to get people to believe you when there's no name or face and just unsubstantiated rumors. If you take that agency away from victims and then it's not believed, that's just harm.

I don't see how people not liking a truth is harmful enough, a reason enough, to not expose the truth of active, ongoing harm

Monica Lewinski comes to mind, I get it

But I also see what harm letting his coercing blowies from jr staff in the office being laughed off has caused over the decades since

I was in my 20s when i found out all the aunties had been carefully keeping the girls away from my abuser over the years because what he was doing to them was a known secret

NVM the boys he preyed on later

So maybe that is coloring my perspective
