When not enough convincing evidence of an aggression, sexual or otherwise, is readily available, the Police are reluctant to pursue enquiries. This is particularly true in the case of sexual aggressions when no third party is present !
The current Weinstein scandal in the Film Industry, has provoked countless discussions and articles in the Press all over the World. Revelations also state that due to their contacts some well known Public Personalities, Politicians and "Bosses" in industry, have escaped prosecution or even answering awkward questions.
Sometimes, if not before their death, the truth is sudddenly revealed. What is never made public are the identities of who blocked the prosecution of a simple or habitual sexual offender ! Usually the reason given by the Police is that there was not enough evidence for a prosecution !
When young girls or women are sexually abused they are ashamed and in shock : it is then they need the help of a friend, but they are alone and have no witnesses !
In view of the foregoing, even if a centralised Computer File is created, as this Blog has already suggested (1), would all the Police stations register ALL complaints on standard forms ? But, would the Police then also act if enough evidence is found to justify a prosecution ?
The simple announcement that such a register has been created would definitely comfort women and help to ensure their basic right not to be molested against their will !
