> If the allegations true, they should prosecute, and should have prosecuted immediately.

Prosecution of alleged crimes is, in most jurisdictions, at the sole discretion of the state, not that of the injured parties.

(Civil litigation is possible at the instigation of the injured parties, but the calculation of whether that is desirable even if legally justified is not so straightforward that one could reasonably, in a blanket way, say that if there allegations are true, they should make and pursue them in court.)
