I can see your point about confidentiality having a place in certain circumstances.
But when we consider the serious nature of this crime, and others, their must be a responsibility on those "with relevent information" to come forward, especially when it involves the potential conviction of criminals.
To think - a child molester could walk free due to a lack of evidence when a few elders in the local cong heard him confess to the crime!!!
The whole thing is pretty depressing.
