I'm not sure the link is making the argument you want it do.

Epstein would probably make for a better link where people endless told the FBI what he was up to and they did nothing until forced by the Palm Beach PB (who actually started to do something) and so the FBI had to settle with down playing the charges as much as they possibly could.

Your link is a demonstration of if you do collect evidence the police will prosecute.

It makes the point that was intended, which was this 'is' happening, and that without a preponderance of evidence its a he said she said with no action being taken (even if it did happen).

As for Epstein being a better link, no that is not the case for a lot of sound reasons I won't be getting into here.

No it is not. Its a demonstration that these things happen from a reputable source that has been documented.

The implication you make is quite different, and its unsupportable because its based in fallacy. Having data that something has happened doesn't mean the police will prosecute, or that any action will be taken to correct. The two are independent.
