Codes of Conduct can never replace good intentions, mutual respect and human decency, but in the right hands, they can be an excellent tool for bullying and abuse.
There's a ton of reasons why people choose not to go the prosecution route. Also, you're saying "this is not a responsibility of the community, it's a responsibility of the law", with which I disagree.

Extrapolating from a "rock star" story to society is a mistake. I'm saying that it is everyones own responsibility, not the resp. of any community, gov. or law. This is the same thinking as "there is a god who protects me". You will get into trouble thinking this way.
-
Sure the rapist is responsible for his actions, but I completely fail to understand your model of a society that doesn't care. Or should I say "society", as it is a total lack of such a thing?
-
It is also the responsibility of the victim to let the action follow a reaction. If it does not happen (i.e. talk to police, talk to friend, talk to mom) there is nothing anyone can do.
-
Ohh, juicy! They should talk to a friend! How about giving them tools to actually do something against abusers? Like, say, a CoC, so perpetrators can feel consequences of their actions?
-
Tools like ... law and police? We have that. No need for private juries based on opinions of privately financed NGOs. There is way too much risk here. This could easily lead to injustice.
-
Again, deferring to law and police ignores the community responsibility. Oh, and ignoring that the community is abused by rockstars for enabling their sexual assault doesn't lead to injustice in exactly which way?
-
You are again separating law and police from society and community. Do you think people around rock stars ("fan"atics) are a good sample to measure global aspects of society?
-
It's a measure of our community and problems that actually happened in it.
