I have only become aware of child abuse since leaving so none while I was in.
Since leaving I have 2 friends on FB who have spoken to me about it. One was abused as a child but she has been disfellowshipped as an adult for apostacy. The other one, it was her son that was abused by an elder and after a year of nothing being done she went to the police. She too has since been disfellowshipped for apostacy.

I only knew about one victim and one perp, but I also heard the perp had other victims; I never knew who they were.
But I was kind of a loner and didn't gossip much at all. I was out of the loop on a lot of things around the congregation.

I never heard of any cases while I was in (for 30 years). There was this one creepy elder, however, that use to massage my shoulders when I was prepubescent. Hmmm . . .

Thank you very much to all who've replied to this.
The point being made that this is supposedly gods organization, the only TRUE religion, blessed and led by jehovah, and yet ..... those who've escaped show the following statistics:
Within 8 hours,
11 people
reported 53 child abuse cases within this organization!
These are not hearsay.
These are children we know about, right at home.
53 ...........................................case closed
