With Weinstein, he was a successful serial abuser because he had both carrot and stick. His power meant he had leverage on everyone around him who might speak out, and his money and connections meant that he could buy silence if that didn't work. I believe that this happens on a smaller scale with other serial abusers, they seek out situations where they have leverage so it's harder for someone to speak out.
