Yes/no ... depends on a multitude of factors. As there are many different courses of action that can be taken, confrontation may not be the best route.

• What is the exploitation that was witnessed?
• Who were the complaints made to?
• Were the complaints ever investigated or were they dismissed? If so, why?
• etc.

True. There's no one-size-fits-all answer here, as the context plays a key role in the decision-making process. Many reasonable COAs exist depending on the underlying details and the background actions (or inaction) of others.

I don't have enough background details to firmly declare what I'd do in this situation, although I'd certainly want to act in a way that solves the problem. Would it be my supervisor, a subordinate supervisor within my scope of responsibility, or a supervisor in another organization? My relationship to the person plays a role in how I'd address it. Also, were the complaints made to him directly, or to someone else who took no visible action (chain of command, IG, EO, etc.)? That would also play a role in my decision.

From My 81 Years Of Hanging Around This Planet, I've Found Most Managers Will Take Our Complaints But Won't Take Any Action Unless Pressure's Put On Them. : Reason, I Assume:? If They DO Something And It's WRONG, It Creates Problems For THEM; If They Do Nothing And Aren't Confronted, It's Also Safer For THEM - No Longer A Problem.
