    I’m surprised no one… took this to court? I’m sure this would have been against laws even back then

      From the source I linked in my other coment:

      By the time his victims came forward, the statute of limitations for his actions had expired.

      I don’t know how long it would have been back then, but today, sexual assault of a minor has a maximum prison sentence of more than ten years but less than life, so the statute of limitations is 20 years.
