People should be focusing on the fact that sexual abuse is wrong period, no matter where it presents itself. And as I said before, it presents itself in every facet of society.
When you get side tracked and concentrate only on one segment where it was or is prominent, such as religious organizations, you can lose focus and put too much emphasis on that facet only... and that can cause sexual predators to look elsewhere for their victims.
Also keep in mind that the alleged sexual abuse in this instance was some 35 years ago. While we would like to think times were not different then, they were. I am not saying that times were different in that sexual abuse was accepted then...far from it. I am saying that sexual abuse was hidden and the victims were too afraid and too ashamed to come forward.
Today's society realizes that approach is wrong and more support is given to victims. That is where the focus should be...support to the victims and getting the scum off the streets.
