I am a sexual abuse victim as a toddler. I am 60 and I still have cPTSD and need counseling. I cut off all local news to help with depression and anxiety and only read what I choose, yet in the past week there are literally over a dozen new cases with attempted kidnappings, peepers in bathrooms and showers, multiple rapes, CSAM from various religious organizations, and lawsuits going back decades. It seems like a pandemic of predators is happening.
There was DEFINITELY much more before. Look at the Catholic Church, in order for a young priest to get away with it, everyone above him must have gotten away with it or been involved in covering for someone they know.

Still in the Deep South. Nothing’s changed, improved. Mothers still willingly offer their kids to hang on to providers of money, drugs, food, roofs. Then gaslight the kids it never happened/vivid imagination/bad dreams.
The silence broke down over the late 20th century and cases from decades past came to light
And the Baptist churches deacons and elders covering for the preachers and each other!
