Film time stamps:

21:45, Attorney David Flowers:

One of the biggest reasonss Eddie Fischer was able to get away with this for forty some odd years, is because of the very victims that he chose. The majority of his victims are of the rich and powerful -- the movers and shakers in downtown Charleston, across every field: medical, legal, political, business....

This is a culture where you don't bring scandal on the family name, and the boys understood that.

 

21:30, Psychologist and professor in Charleston, and Associate Director of the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, Dr. Ben Saunders:

I'm pretty confident the large majority of the victims in our town have never come forward in any way....they may not have even told their spouses about what happened to them.

"The majority of his victims are of the rich and powerful -- the movers and shakers in downtown Charleston, across every field: medical, legal, political, business.... This is a culture where you don't bring scandal on the family name, and the boys understood that."

Very true. This also goes on in English boarding schools.

Here is a Porter grad from the past with quite a genealogy. NOT inferring that anything happened to him, but just showing the history and connections some of these families had:

"Born in Charleston, South Carolina, into one of the city's most prominent and wealthy families, with ancestors who were planters, with five who served as governors of the state, Maybank graduated from the Porter Military Academy, now the exclusive Porter-Gaud School. He earned a degree from the College of Charleston. He served in the United States Navy during World War I."

"Maybank's sudden death two months before Election Day, threw open the 1954 Senate election in South Carolina. Strom Thurmond won as a write-in candidate against the nominee chosen by Democratic party leaders to replace Maybank."

"He is one of only twenty people in United States history to have been elected mayor, governor, and United States senator." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnet_R._Maybank
