Good! Im glad to see the Witnesses finally taking a stand against pedophiles and protecting their young.
Whether or not this man is guilty is not the issue. The authorities will get to the bottom of this.
I think all will agree this is a good sign and the witnesses should not protect pedophiles anymore, or be so concerned with God's name that they fail to turn in serious wrongdoers to the authorities.
According to reports, Perales was sitting on a couch in the foyer of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 1946 Old Port Isabel Road. Church members told police that Perales fondled himself over his pants in front of several church members, including a 5-year-old girl. Perales allegedly started moaning and making sucking noises on a couch pillow before being removed from the church. The man allegedly told the churchgoers that he acted that way because he had suffered a stroke, but they called police and pressed charges.
What a loser........I'm very glad to hear that the elders are pressing charges against this guy. What a pig!
