Yeah, Savile and Tower Hamlets were put right immediately upon earliest suspicions. Come on, man.
Look what's happened since those revelations came to light. An absolute crackdown and imprisonment of those found guilty of sexual assaults, be they with children or adults. Was there a cover up at the time? Pretty much undoubtedly but this goes to show that society does not tolerate it and such atrocities are retroactively punished and only underscores the fact that laws have tightened since the seventies, not relaxed...
I wager you right now: somewhere there will be (at the very least) a serious attempt to relax it within our lifetimes, and successful or not the snowball will start to roll downhill.
Then you're betting against the house...
