Back in the 1980's one of the most popular shows in Australia was Hey Dad. The star of the show was Robert Hughes who played the dad. This week Sarah Monahan, who played Hughes' daughter, said that for years on the show she was fondled and also that the man she would not identify also repeatedly exposed himself to her.
Since her claims were first made public, other cast members who were children at the time also said they were molested and they named Robert Hughes as the person who did the molesting. One cast member said he remembers once when he saw Robert Hughes fondle Monahan and that he immediately grabbed her and took her out of the situation. The actor said that when he told producers about Hughes' improper behavior, he was told to be quiet about it and that his silence was a "lesson in professionalism."
It's rare for people to go public with this, but it happens in the US too. More often than not though, the women are older than 10. Generally in their teens and they will end up having sex with the molester but keep quiet.
For his part, Hughes denies any of this ever happened.
