I would add one more thing:

If the Haredi community truly wanted to demonstrate their piety and good intentions, they would deal with these problems swiftly and openly in broad daylight. That would set them apart from other religious institutions and groups who also engage in denial and cover up.

Dealing with the problem up front and openly would speak volumes about their good intentions- and morality.

For now, they are merely a part of a dysfunctional crowd which exhibits shameful behavior.
