I don't think that I would characterize a victim's reluctance to come forward as "protecting the perpetrator". Psychologists have confirmed that such responses are common (as they surely are) ... and are, in themselves, a feature of the victimization.
Such is why large numbers of persons can be victimized ... across a long span of time ... without being found out. Witness the enabling circumstances and silence surrounding Ailes, O'Reilly, Cosby, Weinstein, etc.
Recall, there were women who stepped forward to accuse Trump, as well.
Were they, up until the moment that they stepped forward, ... protecting him ???
Actually i was thinking more along the lines of Meryl Streep, who at an acceptance speech called Harvey Weinstein a "god", for instance.
