I don't know of anyone, Christian or otherwise, who would forgive the person who did something like that to their kids. I also feel that there would be something wrong with them if they did.
Maybe it's just as well I am not a Christian.

Speaking as a victim, at the time I was not interested in retribution legal or otherwise - I just wanted it not to have happened and was vaguely worried that I might have been somehow responsible for it in the first place.

Which is why this should not be swept under the carpet. There are people all over the world who feel the same as you did, and making things like this public may give some children the impetus to speak out, where they may not normally have the courage to do so.
They need to be educated to speak out if someone does something to them that makes them feel uncomfortable, and making them aware that there are other people who have suffered in the same way that they have will (I believe) make them feel less isolated
