An older victim said she feels vulnerable and intimidated by what had happened and that she is sorry that she did not speak up sooner but was afraid that people would laugh at her or not believe her.

I mean, there it is, right? He thought if it was weird enough, they'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone. I'm glad they did, even though they knew people would think a guy tricking them into groping him is hilarious. He did this to young teens.

I didn't quite get his he did this, but here's the relevant sections with the first one maybe being poorly written:

The statements outlined how the unsuspecting women were asked to reach behind them into the machines while Gallagher fixed a ‘pipe.”

An older victim was approached by Gallagher who asked her to reach behind a dishwasher and hold a pipe but she “knew immediately it was no pipe” as it was warm and soft and felt like a penis.

Also, made worse that these are all people attending a ~~sorry~~ sort of religious pilgrimage.

This is purely a WTF moment
