It is fair to say that the police, the FBI, intelligence agencies, prisons etc make mistakes all the time.
Clues are missed, or misinterpreted, police are not infallible, nor judges, nor prison guards or governors or psychiatrists.
However, in every high profile sexual abuse scandal the number of these errors often seems inordinately high. - it could be for a number of reasons, complexity of cases, people hesitant to report valuable information etc.
There is also a peculiar pattern to mistakes made. And that is that every mistake made benefits the protagonists.
When a national security file or computer holding files is lost we usually only hear, because somebody has found it in the wrong place. But in high profile paedophiles cases, files are only lost, never accidentally found.
Courts across the US make mistakes on a daily basis, I'm sure. But if you are poor or black, the mistakes will generally mean false imprisonment - even a death penalty. But for the rich white paedophile, every mistake means being given too lenient a sentence, or fine, or charges accidentally missed off the sheets, or victims not being informed of plea deals.
You can talk abut it coincidences, or happenstance, but from a purely mathematical standpoint, the chance of each error, that could go one of two ways, consistently favouring the protagonist does not follow the laws of chance.
If you had been flipping a coin for decades and only ever getting heads, you would suspect that something is wrong. And once you have lost your belief that something is purely chance, you have to suspect everything
