  I just wanted to add that I am unaware of the facts of this case. But I'm wondering if the guy showed any evidence of repentance? For example, did he come forward willingly and admit to what he'd done; did he make every effort to try to repair as much of the harm done as possible? Or, as is customary, did he deny, threaten, and generally try to hide behind various excuses?

  I apologize for my ignorance of the facts...if this information is available somewhere and I've just missed it...

  glad to hear justice has been served. I know of several cases of molestation and the WT and never really put 2 & 2 together before. One was molested by her father and the elders refused to do anything becasue there was no witnesses. The mother is now df'd for divorcing him and marring another and this nasty father handles the sound department. The other case was a very close friend who was molested (not raped but molested none the less)and it was dropped because he confessed, she was tormented by it for years. Man, I never realized htere was a problem.

  This victory will be a victory for many.

  Great news Bill. I hope that this helps Erica in her recovery. How is she doing?

  It's always good news to hear that a pedophile/molestor has been dealt with. Now, for the bigger picture...when is the WTS going to be accountable for its policies that have shielded people like that? I hope sooner rather than later.

  He lied and he's not a very good liar.
