The thing is, he might not have committed the crimes, so technically he isn't a criminal. But, he knew what happened, never contacted the police and seemingly never followed up on the initial complaint. His lack of action enabled more kids to get tortured.

No excuse for something like that.

Agree with you- however I don't know the legalities of rape per se, but if you are a witness to a murder, and you don't report it, it is a crime in some states (Ohio for one). Same for rape possibly? (Talking just criminality, not morality)

pretty much every state has laws making anyone whose profession brings them into regular contact with a vulnerable population (young children, elderly, disabled) mandated reporters of suspected abuse.

it's not a crime to observe abuse and not report it unless you fall into that category.

like you said. talking criminality, not morality.
