Witnesses reinstated a pedophileAccording to the Lancanshire press, despite a serious complaint against an elder of "Jehovah's Witnesses" regarding the sexual abuse of a child, he was later reinstated by that organization anyway.
However, the courts were not as lenient with the pedophile as his religious leaders. He plead guilty and was sentenced to a prison term. The former Witness elder and pioneer will be registered as a sex offender upon his release.
Jehovah's Witnesses have an apparent habit of covering up sexual abuse within their congregations. And when members speak up, it seems they may more likely be shown the door than a sexual predator.
