Happy to read your recount cantleave, at least in this particular case things went the right way!
Unfortunately, I know of a MS in our circuit who came to the BOE and confessed having abused his two daughters.
He was obviously disfellowshiped, but the case was not reported to the authorities, on instructions from the branch office.
After a relatively short period he has been reinstated, and now freely moves around and is in good standing, as no one knows why he was disfellowshiped.
He has been given back some responsibilities, used in assembly demo, and represent the congregation in prayer.
In another case, it went more the way you mentioned.
The pioneer and MS who abused several kids of the same family, ending up marrying one of the young daughters.
When two of the daughters started to tell each other about their being abused by the MS, the case was finally brought up to the BOE, the guy was disfellowshiped and on directions from the CO, the abuse was notified to the authorities ending up in the arrest, trial and sentenced to jail of the abuser.
Sometimes things go the right way too!
Nick!
