PD, you said something that is absolutely key, and which I hope is the case, but which I am afraid may not be the case, and if it is not the case, then you may undeservedly risk your credibility by making a statement about what Jim will do. You said:
"Will the abuser know I gave a statement? No, your name will not go out in public. Only if you are named as an abuser and the case goes to court will you possibly be named publicly. Otherwise confidentiality is very strict and persons who submit statements and affidavits will not become publicly known or named."
PD, I really hope this is the case, but I am not sure based on what I was told. I hope to God (if there is such a thing) that Jim will not be giving abusers the information about who has fingered them without explicit prior written consent freely offered by the accuser.
