999, in most cases in most dioceses, credible reports of offenses are reported to law enforcement authorities. But what's a credible report?

In my previous parish, the church was vandalized - someone had spray-painted child molestation allegations against a priest on the church walls. The crime of vandalism was reported, but not the child molestation. Should it have been?

There was an anonymous post at Mudcat a few years ago that alleged that I was a child molester because I was a Catholic - should I have been reported to law enforcement authorities?
