This always happens in BL manga. I've barely seen any manga where the character is reporting sexual or domestic abuse, stalker incidents, it's all just swept under the rug like it's nothing. Even the ones where the perpetrator gets caught always gets caught not by the main characters report. No consequences. It's really unfortunate this is how media portrays crime and its sad. ESPECIALLY in BL manga i think this is really Important to show some consequences. What message are they trying to show? You're gay so you can't report crime? Because it's not normal? There's still internalised victim blaming in all of them. There is nothing pure or innocent in being self-loathing. It's just plain stupid.
