  Jehovah's Witness abused young boy

  (UKPA) – Jul 20, 2010

  A Jehovah's Witness has admitted sexually abusing a boy from the age of seven.

  Thomas Gold, 45, abused the child over a period of seven years at an address in Clackmannanshire, the High Court in Glasgow heard.

  The abuse began with a kiss on the boy's mouth and became more sexual as the youngster got older. On one occasion there was "unnatural carnal connection" between them.

  "He approached elders at his church and told them and they said it was wrong and that if it continued he would have to be dis-fellowshipped by

  the church.

  ...and again here...(I'm reading this as though the victim is being blamed - by the Elders..?)
