The coverups are appalling. I don’t mean to suggest that this is purely a Hockey Canada problem, this is just the latest example. The victims sign the NDA and just want the nightmare to end, and frankly it’s disgusting.

My guess is that when the victim refuses to talk to police, they are pretty much hand cuffed to be able to do much about it.
The police need evidence. Short of a rape kit and/or a victims statement, it is nearly impossible to find anything that would stand up against cross examination in a "he said/she said" kind of crime.
Also they have to really tread lightly when the victim does not want their name out there, which appears to be the case with this woman.
Tough situation for sure, but really hard to lay blame on the cops from what I have read.
