Ben Torah:

For reasons (unrelated to molestation) Rav Klein shlit’a is very against ANY secular court involvement. His psak is a Daas Yachid and is not accepted by the Gedolei Eretz Yisroel, or by the poskim in America.

The simple reason being that molestation and any form of PHYSICAL harm or threats that a reasonable person can assume will lead to PHYSICAL harm the person is a rodef. Bais Din nowadays lacks the enforcement power to curtail these behaviors and requires secular authorities intervention. PHYSICAL harm the poskim are lenient with the laws of mesirah. It’s better to be maikel in mesirah than to be machmir against a potential victim. NO ONE FORCES A PERSON TO GET PHYSICAL. IF HE CHOSE TO DO IT, HE MUST LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.
