This isn't a "justice is slow" problem. This is a "the justice system only serves to punish the poor and powerless" problem.
The fact of these files is they were in the hands of the FBI and prosecutors 20 years ago. Nothing happened as a result even though there appears to be dozens of individuals capable of being charged with crimes. That's 20 years of incriminating evidence just sitting around collecting dust because it'd be politically inconvenient to pursue charges.
Justice moves rapidly when a power tripping cop wants to ruin you life. It moves very slowly when a rich pedophile rapes children.
