I think this needs more context for the meaning to be clear. Especially "come out" - what do you mean by that? Come out of a coma?

For a hypothetical scenario, say
eg So, if you were molested and your molester died before you came out, that would not be brave?

I don't understand the meaning here.

I haven't heard the expression used in the context of abuse.
I've only heard it used in the context of declaring publicly that one is gay.
The full expression for this is 'Come out of the closet'.)
