Because it doesn't happen in a vacuum with one person being able to do everything necessary to prosecute the offender(s). There are a lot of steps and people involved in between an LEO identifying EAR/ONS and him being prosecuted. When LEOs have experienced themselves or seen other LEOs retaliated against for attempting to get people charged, they know they aren't going to become a hero for pursuing justice.
Imo, fear of retaliation is why this case was never prosecuted. It's less about protecting the offender and more about protecting against exposing which agencies and people were involved in making the call to not prosecute; and protecting against the public and legal backlash that would happen in order to close the case.
EAR/ONS wouldn't go down alone.
Hell even what you're stating at the end I disagree with. EARONS being covered up AND the LE letting it happen is 10x bigger than just EARONS himself. If you provided evidence for the LE cover up on top of EARONS or even just by itself, there is a ton of money and advancement to be made there. I get people are put down for things like this, but in this day and age? You could nannycam and ensure the safety of yourself and your family ffs.
