Please don't take for granted that some of the women didn't try to report him.
There may have been no physical evidence, etc. to support their claims and it was a he said/she said case. What would LE tell someone who reports someone who tries to touch a woman's breast butis fought off?
Please also don't underestimate that these women were scared as heck of BSL. They probably feared for their lives - knowing that reporting it would anger him and he probably wouldn't go to jail at all, it would have been a dangerous situation for them to be in.
I agree these women should have reported these incidents but the problem is really that most of them probably felt unsafe about the consequences of reporting them vs. how long BSL would be jailed before he could retaliate, which seems to be a problem of our justice system. I wish one of these women would have had a concealed weapon on her when attacked, though...
