The details may be vague on pupose. Since when is 12 not considered a child?

wha happened?
well some facts have to be vague because of her age, but reporters have to rely on the police report, which was dictated by someone not familiar with JW's, and whatever story the JW's have given the police and media. If he wasn't a JW, they would have made it quite clear. Instead it sounds like an article written by someone who was stonewalled

Good for the parents in calling the cops.
If this is any indication, the days of phoning the elders and trying to keep everything internal and on the DL are on the way out. The blows to the WTS's public image, however...
Vidiot "The victim’s parents contacted lawmen in March." That means 'lawmen' are appointed elders of Jehovah's Witnesses not police. I would assume it was the elders who reported that to police. Anyway, as the person is charged in teh courts of the law, more information may be available and we will know more.
Yes, I want to agree with wha happened?. The mention of a church is an attempt to confuse the public about the true identity of the Kingdom Hall. Jehovah's witnesses do not identify themselves as members of a church. The word 'church' is anathema to them. Been there, saw it.

It sound like a writer who do not understand the JW dynamics.
I do not want to go into details...but someone close to me was sexually molested as a child by a JW. I don't think the perp being JW contributed..but this person was just a sick person. As I believe in this story.
What I do like is that the parents loved their child enough to report it. Many may not agree with me...but I really believe children or anyone who have been sexually violated and choose to ask the brothers (WTBS) how to handle their situation is horrific and they should have to deal with their choice of not seeking help for their minor child.

wha happened?
The lack of long, (worldly), hair, no facial hair, for his age seems to point that he's involved with dubs on some level

Think About It
Of course the guy was a JW. He also sexually assulted the girl a previous time. Most likely he was a Ministerial Servant, which the writer took to be a Youth Leader. The perp most likely had previously sweet-talked her, then somehow found a way to be alone with her again during a KH cleaning or re-modeling.

Doubting Bro
My guess he was a JW by the description. I'm sure they'll be more info that comes out. What a terrible thing to have happened to this little girl.

" Jahaziel Levi" sounds like a good, Bible-based name for this young man.
I think in Hebrew it means "Jah will turn a blind eye the rape of little girls."
His parents must be SO proud of him!

He has a very unique name, if you google it there are several other news stories out there about this. I don't have time to read them but they may possibly provide more details for someone willing to research.
