It's really sad that you seem to lack the empathy to understand why a person might not feel empowered to come forward at the time of an incident. Many victims of sexual harassment or assault often feel as if it's their fault and have to take time to work through that. Some might feel like their job or social standing would be at risk. Some might feel there is a physical danger in coming forward.
Quit trying to diminish how other people feel because you claim you wouldn't respond like they did.
