That's 0.06% of reviewed cases, which is frankly less than I would have thought. I suspect that child abusers are a more savvy lot than the average chucklehead who does something like this.

While others drag on for decades with establishment involvement - the U.K. being the current but not first example.

I am sure there is a ton of stuff going on in the developing world were nobody is used to reporting anything.

Edit: Happy to see someone is leaking this stuff given how many flip flops we had to sit threw before someone admitted fake news was a thing.
