It's hard to prove sex crimes even contemporaneously, with full victim cooperation, with perpetrators who aren't rich and powerful. And we all know that sexual exploitation of young women who want to be famous has been regarded as a perk of the job since ten minutes after the silent movie was invented. Why is there any reason to believe that those who are inclined toward underage boys are more ethical than those who prefer of-age-ish women?

Plus some of the perpetrators are known (see Singer, Bryan) and still get work and even work with young casts.
