I hate the constant reference to the reported abuse being 'Historic'...it's NEVER 'historic' for the victim.

This word serves to tell us or imply "therefore not so serious".

using the word 'historic' relentlessly is in fact DENIAL of the reality. DENIAL of the harm, and a not so generous attempt to downgrade the victims report.  It is, in fact, rather obscene.
