The media has covered several stories in recent weeks regarding the molestation of minors. However, there is another group — the elderly — who are probably the most under-reported. "There's a...fear that the perpetrator, who often is a caregiver, will abandon the older adult with no one left to meet their basic survival needs," said Ron Costen, director of the Protective Services Institute at Temple University Harrisburg. "The choice often appears to the older adult to be basic survival versus tolerating the sexual assaults. We must be more aggressive at finding these perpetrators and removing them from society."
