After the Panorama episode, the police in the UK started investigating London Bethel. Now that Silent Witnesses was broadcast in Australia it seems that the Australian authorities could start an investigation there also. What happens if they find the WT guilty of covering up Child abuse?
Will they lose their tax free status?
Will there be arrests?
Could they be forced to close down in these countries?
How will this affect Brooklyn Bethel?

Depends on how good their lawyers are.

I would LOVE to see a criminal investigation!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know this for sure????
After the Panorama episode, the police in the UK started investigating London Bethel.Be careful - don't be jepoardizing criminal investigations. My understanding was that someone made a rumour (a false rumour) that a search warrant was executed at the UK Bethal.
As for what could happen? Well you need to know what violation of the law there is and then in that same Act - look at the penalities.

Well, the government are certainly keeping an eye on them.
