I have been divorced from my sociopath ex husband for many years and have been no contact and all ties are cut. Thankfully we did not have kids together.
He was psychologically and financially abusive but never physically and I’ve never reported him to police or exposed him in court.
However during our breakup/divorce I discovered he was involved in extensive criminal activity including drug trafficking, sex trafficking (prostitutes) and shady business schemes/fraud schemes.
During the divorce I kept this knowledge to myself and never reported him. However now many years later it still bothers me that he has never been stopped or held accountable. He seems to be above the law and always gets away with everything.
Should I still report him now many years later? It would have to be an anonymous report because I know he would retaliate.

There are anonymous ways of reporting to police or FBI. Consider though whether you have direct evidence to offer of this or if it’s just your statement. Evidence is something that the authorities can act on if they choose to. That “choose to” is something you need to be prepared for. You can hand the authorities ample direct evidence of crimes committed and they may choose to do nothing. This is a hard one to handle, especially when you know another person is actively being hurt. But being prepared for that potential outcome is important because it can be disheartening/maddening/depressing. However, staying silent only helps the abusers.

sept14 – You may also want to consider statutes of limitations. If they have expired, nothing can be done. About the only crime that doesn’t have a statute of limitations may be murder or attempted murder.
