A man whose son was sexually abused by a Jehovah's Witness has criticized the church after leaders said they would consider keeping the paedophile in their ranks.
The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims Jaswant Patti is still a member of the church, which requires its congregation to be "morally clean."
A Jehovah's Witness spokesman confirmed the church is carrying out an internal investigation into the case, after which Patti could remain a member if he shows "genuine repentance."
Patti was jailed for five years in 1999 after he was found guilty of four offences of indecent assault and one other serious sexual assault against two boys, then aged nine and fourteen.
Following the conviction, church leaders of the Rubery Congregation of the Jehovah's Witnesses, in New Street, Rubery, backed Patti. Philip Price, one of the church's elders, even questioned the verdict, quering the strength of the evidence.
The father of one of the victims said: "The church has a policy of disfellowshipping which can be applied to a person who has got a smoking problem and finds it hard to give up.
"Why is Jaswant Patti, who has been convicted and whose name will be on the sex offenders' register for the rest of his life, hasn't been disfellowshipped?"
The spokesman for the U.K. headquarters of the church said he was not able to comment on specific cases.
But he added: "If someone has committed repugnant acts they will be disfellowshipped but it depends on a person's attitude.
"If a person shows genuine repentance it might not mean they are expelled. That's what the elders in the congregagtion would have to determine.
"To be one of Jehovah's Witnesses you have to be morally clean and we try our utmost to keep the depraved out. The person would have to go a long way to prove they're genuinely repentant.
"If they remained a member they would never occupy a position of responsiblity."
