My BIL was arrested in the 90's after niece and nephew reported him for abusing them both a few years before, the girl since she was 8, the boy developed mental problems. Police never charged him as the evidence was not good enough, despite 2 statements. He ran off abroad eventually, as it happens here most of the time. The boy subsequently killed himself as did my sister, his mum a few years after all this, the niece says the abuse and betrayal were the main cause.
He still maintains he did nothing, even when these monsters do admit it they claim they never hurt the kids but loved them, they have no idea how much pain thier sick perversions cause.
