    Hi

    I used to be a JW years ago and I am at the moment just doing a short course on 'Child Protection', as part of this course I have to do a 1,000 word assignment which has to be a report on a real child abuse case, so I have decided to write one on the subject of JW's and child abuse, so what I am looking for is a really well publisized case that had had a successful outcome in the courts, however I also need the case example to be one of those that took time to come to light either because of failure of the authorties, school teachers etc to spot it.

    Obviously I will be trawling the net, but I have made my call here first as I know many of you here have much experience of such cases and might be able to point me to a case that has enough information to suit my needs.

    Ideally oen with lots of online court transcripts etc.

    By the way sinc elaving the JW's I have overcome many mental health issues and even though in my late 40's I have seized the day and I am have over the last two years qualfied as a teacher and am still involved in learning for myself also by continuing going to college, something JW's used to frown on when I was a youngster among them.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    For a very recent case, Google Gilbert Simental. He was just sentenced to 45 years to life for child molestation within the congregation, where not the parents or the elders called police, but a teacher of one of the abused girls.

    Also see http://watchtowerdocuments.com/downloads/Secrets_Commentary_Version_2.pdf for a long history of pedophilia cases within the organizaton.
