They have said so themselves. <br /><br />Some of Saville's victims did report him to the police at the time of the offences. But neither the police or CPS acted decisively. <br /><br />Aside from the pros and cons of anonymity at the point of arrest, to me the fundamental issue is all victims having the confidence to report serious crimes. Having to wait over 20 painful years for justice is in no one's interests. We don't hear about historic victims of car or fraud crime.
