I can empathize with your brother's situation. That kind of thing is horrifying for anyone to imagine.

With that said, creeps like this continue to proliferate because the courts only do anything in very rare cases (Cosby or other serial abusers). It typically only hurts people who were abused, not helps - it can take years to go through court, and in this situation because it's across borders there's likely no court to file with.

People come forward in blog posts because it's often their only reasonable way to try to hold someone accountable and warn other potential victims.
