Nobody (AFAIK) wants Cheveldayoff crucified, or have his head on a pike, or whatever. It just seems to me that someone who was in a position of authority at the time and with knowledge of what happened did nothing. Not only that, but he lied about it right up until the end.
2 more (at least - hopefully only 2 more) people were victimized because of Cheveldayoff's lack of action. He continued to lie about it up to a few days ago. No consequences at all.
Yes, you don't want to go 'scorched earth'. However, I argue that by not holding people accountable for their inaction on moments like this, then it helps to perpetuate further inaction, not the other way around. There should have been 'something' of consequence here. No public stoning required, but just something to say that "Hey, that was not ok, and your continued lying about it and trying to continue covering it up is NOT ok and will not be tolerated." I don't know what would have been appropriate, but nothing is not appropriate in my mind.
