Daily press reports of alleged sexual abuse, provoked by the ongoing Weinstein saga, also highlight the lack of efficient laws to protect any of the victims.
What can the Victims do when the sexual aggresser is their boss or in a dominant position and often well known ?
Young girls in particular fear losing their jobs. Victims often do not have any real creditable evidence and no witness and are too timid to reveal the murky details of what happened !
Habitual aggressors know this : they operate against the consent of their victims and have no fear of prosecution.
Without "clear evidence" the Police at present will not and cannot act. There is however a way to identify, catch and ultimately punish these "long term Aggressors" !
A centralised Police Computor File should be officially established in every country. Aggressed victims could then secretly complete standardised reports in their local police station. Such a file would quickly reveal the identification of long term habitual attackers, even those operating on an "international" basis.
Publication of the existence of such a file would also serve as a deterrent and would definitely provide more security and justice for victims !
