As far as the films go, yes, that is most definately about money.
I dunno about press coverage though. I think whatever they do they are gonna be critisized. If they don't shown anything people are gonna be like "how can you just forget about it?!" But I also greatly understand your point of view and can't even begin to understand how painful it must be for you to be constantly reminded what happened.
And OMG I can't believe what your head master did! That is such an invasion of privacy!
