This is such a great point. Let's say it was a Puritan settlement in 1626. The guy who did these acts would have been drowned in the lake as a warlock long before he would have had a chance to do a crime like this. I'm not saying drowning every pervert who leers at a little girl is the right thing to do in every case (I know what some of you are thinking) but it sure took care of problems like this before they happened. It's just the way things were, good or bad.
