To all: This seems like Deja Vu from 9 months ago. Shlishi are you Joseph? Because we had this out before with him. If there is Reglyim L’dovor you go to the police. Anybody who says Bshem R’ Elyashiv differently is being Megaleh Ponim BTorah Shelo K’halacha! And I don’t know what the Agudah says, but this is the P’sak from the Godol Hador:

“To my dear friend…HaGaon Rav Shraga Feivel Cohen…?..
But according to what was said [above], in a case that entails tikkun hao/am, governmental authorization is not necessary. However, all of this, to permit notifying the government, is only where it is clear that he participated in the crime. It is in this case that there is an issue of tikkun haolam. But where there is not even circumstantial evidence (rag/ayim /adavar), but only some impression [that he is guilty], then not only is there no issue of tikkun hao/am, but [to the contrary] there is heres haolam (ruination of the world) here. And it is possible that because of a certain bitterness that a student feels toward the teacher and makes a false accusation against him or because of [someone’s] delusion, a person [i.e. the accused] will be put into a situation in which his death will be preferable to his life. And it will be through no fault of his own, and [in that case],4 I see no permit in the matter.
And with this I remain your friend seeking the welfare of your distinguished person of Torah,
Yasef Shalom Elyashlv.”
