I may be wrong, but I think, that even if Z/F reported immediately, it would affect their career a lot. So many people can say: you did right, but I don't like scandals, so I prefer not to be close to you.
This problem is much more bigger.
It doesn’t matter. It’s their job to report.
Without getting into it, I recently mentioned on Twitter about my experience with a very famous man who attempted to assault me about twenty years ago (but who was interrupted by the sudden appearance of his wife). I did not know him, and he followed me into the ladies bathroom at my job, cornered me against the wall and blocked the exit door. Thank goodness I don't have my "real" name attached to my Twitter account, because I literally received two death threats from "fans" of this man. I can't imagine being a public figure like Ashley and coming forward. This is bravery! I shudder to think if either of those demented fans got hold of my address or phone number..... I feel terrible for these young skaters and their families.
Wow, so I'm a disgusting victim blamer? Even though I've never said anything remotely resembling that anything was the girl's fault, all my supposition has been based on the possibility that maybe Cipres wasn't at fault or was at fault through negligence/stupidity rather than intentional abuse, and I have always made a concerted effort to show that I am 100% open to the possibility that all of it is true?
I certainly hope that one day, if anyone slamming me faces false allegations, there will be a "disgusting victim blamer" out there who wants all the facts before appointing themselves internet judge, jury, and executioner.
And since people seem to need this spelled out for them and probably still won't believe me anyway: I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY, IN THIS POST OR ANY OTHER, THAT I THINK THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE OR ARE NOT TRUE OR FALSE. I NEVER STATED AN OPINION, ONLY SUPPOSITION.
He was with Vanessa and her family on thanksgiving so i guess USA?Where is Cipres at the moment actually?
Still in the USA, with the possibility of being arrested and detained?
Or in France, safe from US justice and possible bodily harm?

A question: Are coaches mandatory reporters? Here in Canada even as a scout leader I had a legal responsibility to report (and this is back in 1999-2012 period) any acusation by a child against its parents, another leader, or even another youth to the police and the Children's Aid Society.
If coaches are not mandatory reporters in the U.S. then they should be.
