Something else I've recently learned through personal experience about this kind of situation is that, when someone accuses someone of this kind of thing, it's supposed to go on the person's record. Then if someone else accuses them of the same thing, they're considered a witness, in that they have witnessed the same behaviour, even if it wasn't the same event.

This whole situation is occurring within my family at the moment, and while the information I've already provided is correct, I feel that maybe I didn't extend as much sympathy/understanding in my previous posts? I understand now how frustrating and faith breaking it is to see this man still getting privileges, despite his actions. It's finally being dealt with - 30 years after the first offence! - and it is giving myself as an observer, and my family members who were involved so much peace and faith again.

Agaid, I didn't intend to come across as callous or unfeeling - hopefully the additional information is able to help
