OK,

because I 'am' speaking from my experience and from childhood memories,

Sitting here recalling my childhood, I can think of at least a 6 instances (about 7 girls) that involved fathers, principles, family friends, uncles, step-fathers etc. No one talked about it much....but we all were in the same school...
Mothers moved away taking the girls,
pregnant girls where shipped off to homes,
People were fired and then disappeared,
hysterical teens tried to kill themselves....

But I don't remember it really being discussed openly.

So my perspective is very different.

I know 2 little girls that were molested. One of them systematically for about 3 years before anyone found out. On my street by the same man when I was 7 years old.

It was plenty talked about. I come from a conservative community though. Maybe that is the problem in your area.
