Much has been made of the Catholic church and their covering up of priests who abuse children, and rightly so. However, what of Hollywood?
Recently, Woody Allen's daughter, Dylan Farrow, wrote an open letter to the New York Times blasting Woody and the Hollywood establishment for overlooking allegations that had first surfaced in 1993 which state that Woody first abused her at age 7.
I also hearken back to the Penn State scandal. Can we safely say that as a society we are more willing to overlook child abuse if it is carried out by people whom we deem to be important? Is self interest that destructive?

Data on both important and unimportant people would be needed to say it justifiably, but demonstrably, on this forum we can safely say just about anything without any justification at all.

Is it safe to say then the to give someone or some group of people ever expanding power then endangers us all?

yes Polanski was given support by establishment,
More than 100 people in the film industry, including Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Darren Aronofsky, and David Lynch signed a petition calling for Polanski's release.
had he been a nobody this would not have happened.

Complaining about what the "Hollywood Establishment" supposedly did is pointless; such allegations should be addressed to the proper police agencies rather than to public opinion.
Sandusky will spend the rest of his life in prison; how is that "overlooking child abuse"?

But an entire university covered it up for over a decade. Only after Joe Pa had achieved his greatest number of wins as a college coach and Sandusky were done with the program did they let this surface.

That says exactly zero about what we as a "society" are willing to do (your original assertion). As a "society", we did not overlook the sexual abuse, but the appropriate institution, far from overlooking it, punished the abuser to the full extent of the penal law.

It shows how an entire university covered up sex abuse for over a decade.
