“However, the sheer volume of evidence may still provide a strong case for the victims.”
Meanwhile, child protection advocates are calling for a comprehensive review of how the suspect was able to access so many children over such a long period without being detected. “This case is a wake-up call for all of us,” said Safe Haven’s Stanton.
“We need to look at how our systems failed these children and what must be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future.”
As the investigation continues, law enforcement officials are urging any additional victims or witnesses to come forward,
assuring them that they will be provided with necessary support and resources.
