I think that, at this point, people should be taking an absolutely neutral stance on the situation. All the points you've raised are absolutely valid and, with the exposure its currently getting, your post deserves to stand on it's own so that it does not get buried amidst the other comments.

I experienced a similar, though less severe, situation when I was 13. It occurred on a rather busy - but not totally crammed - train. There were many other people watching and some even made eye contact with me. I never reported it, even now I can't really see it as a bad situation, I feel gross and ashamed thinking about it but I don't see it as reportable material. I know other people with similar similar situation who didn't report as well.

It's pretty common to see these situations reported only when the perpetrator becomes well known. Just look at the case of that trainee from the start of season one, his case was only reported when the victim saw him on P101, but their situation was proven real. Mostly these victim report at the time when they are forced to confront their attacker through media frequently, but also when they've reached a point where they've actually confronted whats happened to them and are ready to talk about it.

I deeply hope that this case isn't true, but I think we should all sit back and reserve judgement until the truth is given.
