At the suggestion of מו’ר R’ Schachter’s מקורבים, readers who seek more than a 10 minute grab, would do well to read his written word on these topics, well before the scourge of hidden child abuse arose.
Firstly, there is a brief note on Torah Web here from 2007.
A more expansive and learned paper can be read here from RJJ Volume one which I believe is from 1981.
Enjoy.
