..between the UK & USA..are there so many cases of 'historic abuse' against celebrities alive or dead ?

I can't think of any in the US.

There isn't such a tabloid culture either to drive it.

There is in the Catholic Church but they have plenty of money for compensation. I don't think there is any criminal compo in the US.

Wade Robson is seeking compensation(or payment to cover the cost of his counselling, as he puts it)
and John Phillips of "The Mamas and the Papas" was accused (after he died) of raping his daughter.
I don't know if compensation featured but she was paid a lot for her story and her Oprah appearance.

In some states, for cases of incestuous child abuse, they work towards rehabilitating the offender so they can return to the family.
