Without mentioning names, in a recent molestation case, the family of the victim was hounded, threatened and pressured to retract the accusal by people of importance. The family of the victim righfully did not want to see other children molested, so they did not.
Even worse, in this particular case, one prominent Rav not only defended the person who ended up pleading guilty, he even went so far as to publicly accuse the father of the victim of committing the crime.
