This headline is shit. It’s just a masked type of victim blaming. What actually happened is that many town employees must have known about the SA, considering there were 14+ victims and SA doesn’t happen overnight, and they did nothing for quite some time… So the real story is that the town faces a huge tax hike because its employees decided to cover up SA.
If they’d caught the shady bastard after the first or second assault, the legal bills would have been millions of dollars less. But they didn’t, because it wasn’t a priority.
As for who knew or should have known but did nothing, we don’t know, but the town residents might want to dig into that.

might need to be even more reductive or more expansive, but remember: somebody will twist this for clicks
