Why assume Granny was as bad as the child molester for not pressing charges or that she only wanted money? Maybe she just didn't want to put her 11-year-old granddaughter through the ordeal of a trial.

My young relative went through a trial after being sexually molested. She said the trial was worse than the incident. The process went for close to two years, the molester and his attorneys smeared her terribly to the media, at the hearings and at the trial, she had to repeatedly and publicly describe an event that was humiliating and traumatic for her. While her name wasn't published in the stories about the incident, everyone in her community could figure out that she had been the victim, and she had to deal with bullying from other kids and pity from adults.
