As we both agree, it is difficult. But some crimes - and sexual abuse and bully are prime examples - are very prone to repeated offenses. So while each occurrence may be just between the accused and the purported victim, there may be many instances of that accused with different purported victims. Waiting until it goes to trial fails, precisely because the NDA hampers the police in finding the other potential victims and therefore building the case. True, the police know the accursed. But they are unable to call for other potential victims to come forward without indicting who the accused might be.

There are no easy solutions.
