Question

Hello,
Elections are once again approaching, and everywhere you hear the name Rabbi Druckman, as well as the “tour of the yeshivot” in which he visited many yeshivot where they welcomed him “with singing and dancing,” etc.
I am honestly and sincerely asking why he is seen as a legitimate rabbi after the two affairs involving Kopolovitch and Motti Elon (a Google search will show the two affairs).
For example, after the Motti Elon case, from: https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4416952,00.html
Less than a week after his conviction for committing indecent acts by force against a minor, Rabbi Mordechai Elon received significant backing from one of the senior rabbis of Religious Zionism. Ynet learned that Rabbi Haim Druckman, one of the leaders of the Religious Zionist public, invited the convicted rabbi to teach Torah in his yeshiva, Or Etzion, in a weekly class he would give to the students. Yesterday (Sunday), the first class was already held, for the first time since the verdict in Elon’s case.
For example, regarding Kopolovitch—

This time the information also reached Rabbi Druckman, who at the time served as chairman of the YBA center. As soon as he became aware of the suspicions, Rabbi Druckman went to Rabbi Kopolovitch’s home in Jerusalem and informed him that his position as head of the yeshiva was terminated. At the same time, Rabbi Druckman did not turn to the police to file a complaint, and for that he faced intense public criticism. Later he explained that in those days he did not know that it was his duty to go to the police, since that obligation was not then part of public awareness. “Had I known that I was obligated to go to the police,” Rabbi Druckman said, “I certainly would have done so.”
Regarding both of them, for example, from:

“Rabbi Druckman failed the public and enabled severe harm” — Prof. Yechiel Bar-Ilan of Tel Aviv University recounts his warnings already 36 years ago about Rabbi Kopolovitch, and accuses Rabbi Druckman of having failed then as well as in the Rabbi Elon affair. Opinion column.
How is it possible to respect a rabbi who, for example in Elon’s case, actually supported him? After all, if supporting a pedophile is not pure evil, then it is some kind of lack of awareness so terrible, insane, and detached from reality that it is impossible to respect a rabbi with such a lack of awareness.
I’m not asking provocatively or anything like that. I see myself as God-fearing, etc., but if he is considered legitimate—as a fact, they invite him to yeshivot, honor him, and do not explicitly say that he is not legitimate—then that also says something about everyone who does not do those things, that he too is in some sense not legitimate.
