All of the considerations you mention are valid and important ones. The point is though that the rabbanim are not blind or deaf and they are taking in the same information that you are. Therefore, if you concede that the rabbanim care, are honest, are pretty intelligent, and know Halacha, then you will not vilify them this way.

A couple of points:

Rabbonim do NOT want to speak to victims. They do NOT want to hear their stories. They do not want to dirty their hands, or desensitize their delicate ears with the harshness and filth of the truth these victims carry.

And by the way, MY Rav said to go to the police.

Then by all means do so. But did your rav say it was ok to bad-mouth other rabbanim?

Very well said.
