I find it hard to understand why players keep falling into this trap, time and time again.
Is it that they don't learn from the predicaments of others?

True, that the abused always find it difficult to leave the abuser, maybe for the Greenwood case, but Mendy's? Clear evidence there was never any wrongdoing and he maintained his innocence till the end, yet, he's the one at the receiving end.

While I understand it may be more complicated than we know, people will keep getting away because there are no deterrents in cases where the accused are proven innocent.
