Unfortunately, sometimes justice takes 20 years especially in sexual abuse cases where victims often try to block out / forget what happened to them. To bring charges against your abuser must be immensely difficult, and as a young person must be even harder. People who come forward often speak of being victimized twice especially when people don't believe it. The humiliation and self hate drives a lot of victims to drown the memories in drugs and alcohol. It's rough, no matter what victims choose to do.
