Yeah, I don't think anything would come of that either. It's highly unlikely that there would really be any way forward TO investigate formally if LW doesn't have any more information than that! Although of course that presumes LW doesn't have any further information - maybe she does.
And if she does, I think it's pretty easy to say that while he was definitely wrong and the relationships were definitely coercive, it'd still be wrong for her to report anything that could lead to identifying any of his past partners without their agreement. And like the answer says, they haven't come forward yet, which probably means they wouldn't agree. There is a slight chance that they might though: some women want to come forward when they know they are one of a series, and they might not know it already. OTOH, if the LW does know enough to track down some of them, even approaching them about it also seems bizarre and kind of creepy. Maybe not ethically wrong, but definitely creepy. And also like the plot of a thriller.
