Of course it doesn't make it right!
What a big man this person you knew, must have been......and his despicable friends for watching the girl be abused and humiliated in front of others.
It would be bad enough for it to happen in private, but that was unforgivable.

The situation will never be fixed until those in positions of authority/influence/power are rooted out and made to pay for their crimes against children.
Unfortunately these people are in the position of being able to destroy/lose evidence of their misdeeds.
