In southern Brazilian city of Joinville a 2 years-old girl was raped in a Seven Day Adventist Church during the cult! The girl died after the rape. This case was March 3 and now I receive more information about it. All information are in Portuguese, so I recommend that you use web translations to understand the case.
I visit the Adventist web site and found this:
http://www.portaladventista.com/asn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=233&Itemid=1
"Na segunda-feira, dia 5, à noite, o delegado que está investigando o caso convocou todos os membros que estavam na Igreja, na manhã do dia 3 de março, para algumas orientações. Os membros compareceram e se dispuseram a ajudar no que for possível para esclarecer o crime."
"In Monday, 5, at night, the police investigator called all church members who are at March 3, morning, for some orientations. Church members went to the police and they ar available to help what possible to clear the crime."
I'm close to this case to compare the adventist handle to JW.

I believe she was found with her face down in the baptising fountain. I feel so sad when I hear things like this, its like a lump inside me,and I cant even cry. It`s almost so I won`t read the news anymore, to avoid these kinds of stories. I hope they find this guy who did it, and string him up in the nearest tree.

Sexual abuse happens in all religious organizations. Members and the leadership are responsible for changing the environment in which it occurs and for exposing the wrongdoers however prominent they may be. But all too often, the cover up of the abuse by leaders and members exascerbates the problem when it finally comes to the surface.
This is what happened in the Catholic church. The end result has cost the church millions of dollars and sullied the reputation of this religious institution. But the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witnesses seem to be in denial. One can only hope that others in the organization will stand up against the abuse and refuse to share in the collective guilt.
