Sometimes they do. I have no guess of the percentage of how many remember the situations as "abuse". But some do, it may be many or most, or maybe only a fraction.
In any case, remembered or not, how does it impact the child now become an adult? Some will learn to be more vigilant good shepherds of the young entrusted to them, others will become more the wolf, and apply the lessons as to how better to appear like an old sheep in the midst of the young or even better (albeit rarer) to wear a shepherd's frock and carry a shepherd's staff and so have access to the entire flock and spy out the most select of prey.
I suspect from a lifetime of observation, that too many bury the memory away in some deep recess, and at the level of conscious action behave like those once forced into submission by a predator, and become even somewhat more prone to allow their litter to be accessed by the predators.
well - access is the key here.
I have, unfortunately, witnessed a sad situation where a predator was allowed access.
These people gain trust, and then they follow a pattern...they create situations where they can be alone with the kids.
As we see in the original article to this thread...look at all the alone time.
Anytime you see an adult - anywhere - traveling alone with a kid - staying in hotels - insisting on counseling sessions behind closed doors...this will create problems.
This guy even housed the girls - dangerous territory.
Even if the adult is guilty of nothing, it opens that person up to false accusations.
For this same reason...when a male doctor conducts a physical exam on a female patient, he will often call in a female doctor or nurse to observe.
These sort of steps need to be taken in regards to adult/child interaction everywhere.
