> Id like to see a system where judging those who have supposedly done wrong is done almost entirely by the community, not the government. Government/security forces (including police) intervention should be a last resort.

I'm sure all those children abused by priests will agree with you.

What if the abuse can't be 100% proven but you have multiple victims? In this type of case, the perp gets away with it alot of the time.

However...if judged by the community, its highly unlikely that they would get away with it.

The law fails victims of all kinds of sexual abuse all the time, to the point where most perpetrators get away with it.

Gaps the legal system let some paedophile priests get away with it and also lead to unjust prosecutions like we see in the article.
