      They are under no obligation to, of course, but I wish we’d see the victims band together and ask that any & all parties with access to the full unredacted files release them immediately. Zero redactions.

      There are so many victims though, that you can’t just get them on a stage together on TV. And surely some will still not want to be outed.

        It sucks that some innocent folks would relive bad memories from an unredacted release. On the other paw, that shield of civility is also letting horrible monsters have free reign to continue abusing people, or to escape the consequences of their sordid past.

        As a society, we should be able to treat the survivors with kindness, and the understanding that they didn’t “ask for it”.

          Oh I agree. The documents should get dumped in full and we should treat the survivors with the grace and generosity they deserve.

          Then maybe we think of some ways to stop putting greedy psychopaths into positions of power!

          Our culture is completely on board with ruining both of these ideas, though.

      You can say pedophiles on the internet.

      You hope that foreign governments will somehow release us government non-public files?

      Im curious, how do you think that will work? They don’t have access to them anymore than you do.

        Typically, governments have spies. Those are useful for getting at the motive and intent of other nations, alongside convenient dirt.
