It could be a whole mix of reasons - including fear.
The wall was broken with Saville and any fear the celebrities have instilled into their victims will have hopefully gone.
Imagine you wanted to report to the police that a celeb had been doing things they shouldn't.
The celeb will have convinced you, that you would be laughed out of town. Nobody would believe you.
Since Saville, the authorities have clearly demonstrated that name or reputation counts for nothing and victims have the chance to come forward.
I am guessing there will be the odd chancer, but for the majority - I am glad times are changing and people are being believed.
