I see little to no concern for the victim, here. Is the victim represented by counsel? Was there a settlement in his favor for expenses related to the abuse?

We aren't told.

But what we do see is that other Parents supported the victim over the church leadership and therefore the school was forced to close. That shows that other parents find whatever evidence there is credible and have acted on that.

We will know more after the criminal trial. Usually civil suits wait until after criminal charges wend their way through court.

Ideally churches should restore victims of abuse within their purview, but in this case the leaders were part of the problem. obviously the membership is forcing the issue and the School is already closed even though there has not yet been a trial.
