No disagreement on the overall picture you paint, but I need to note that you're conflating two separate music school harassment/rape scandals, both of which took and are taking place in Manchester.
The Royal Northern situation involves the string teacher Malcolm Layfield, appointed over the objections of pianist Martin Roscoe, who resigned in protest. The Guardian published 40 pages of correspondence related to Roscoe's stance and eventual resignation.
The Chetham's Music School (this is a preparatory music school, so students under 18) situation involved Michael and Hilary Brewer; Brewer has been convicted of various charges involved the late violinist Frances Andrade, who committed suicide in January. In addition, former string teacher Chris Ling, who now works as an agent/manager in the US, has been identified as a problem when he was at Chetham's.
British music journalist & blogger Jessica Duchen has a number of postings and links related to the situation, which is now up to nine accused teachers: http://jessicamusic.blogspot.com/
