https://casetext.com/case/state-v-laurel-del-congregation-of-jehovahs-witnesses'The Delaware Attorney General’s office is suing a Laurel Jehovah’s Witness congregation, saying its leaders covered up a child sexual abuse case.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Judge refuses to dismiss child sex abuse case
Jessica Masulli ReyesThe News Journal'A Delaware judge is allowing a lawsuit against a Jehovah's Witness congregation to continue, but repeated concerns about the constitutionality of the state's law that shields clergy from having to report child abuse disclosed during confessions.'

'CONCLUSIONThe Section 909 privilege exemption from the requirement to report child abuse and neglect, if narrowly interpreted, is unconstitutional on its face. The terms "priest," "penitent," and "sacramental confession" literally apply only to select denominations. The Delaware Constitution prohibits laws that give preference to any religion. However, Section 909 potentially can be read to apply to all religions.
Of course, Delaware's General Assembly could clarify its intentions through legislative action, with language that would make the exemption denomination-neutral. --------
Regardless of the constitutionality of Section 909, genuine issues of material fact exist that prevent summary judgment.
THEREFORE, Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment is hereby DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
/s/ Mary M. Johnston
The Honorable Mary M. Johnston'

This was the dateline 2002 that seems to have started or uncovered the whole CSA thing.

"I hear of a plenty of personal testimonies of abuse but it is harder to prove organizational complicity."
There's a lot of speculation on the change in reporting hours that this is an attempt to further distance the Org from liability in CSA cases. So you might call that a cover-up in its own right.

Not sure which will be best, her book or the movie.
Their business model said they needed the abuser no matter what!
A bit ironic for all the abuse she suffered in Brooklyn, that she has a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge in her
living room.
