I read this comment posted on a news site:
If the police show up at the Kingdom Hall looking for a sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear."
Is this true, is there printed instructions to support it? Or is it hearsay?
Certainly nothing in writing even remotely close to that.
The GB are nitwits, but not even any of them would be so bone-headed as to put something like that into print.
I doubt there are any printed instructions to the elders for a procedure like this, however it wouldn't surprise me if there were some sort of word of mouth "principles" talked about in some congregations.
It would seem to be a fairly poor bastardization of
BoE Nov 6, 2014 letter: 'Procedures when legal issues are involved'
In particular paragraphs 10,11, 15 & 16

That's all folks!
The comment is unclear... Does the person mean that the elders would hide the alleged sexual predator or the police officers, saying that there is an emergency? I find the latter unlikely and strange, but at the same time, the author uses the plural pronoun "them" which would indicate that s/he is referring to the police officers... But if the comment is actually talking about hiding the police officers, then it's probably sarcasm...
Having said that, I think it may be probable that some elders would attempt to hide the alleged perpetrator. After watching the ARC, I came to the conclusion that those JW elders are extremely stupid. It's physically impossible for their brains to process information on their own. One elder testified to the Commission that he would first contact the branch―instead of the police―even in a case where a member of the congregation were to murder another person. Surprisingly, that answer did not change even when the elder was asked about this member killing a second human being.
Some people are just too far gone...

^^ NOT TRUE ^^
If the police show up at the Kingdom Hall looking for a [member of the Governing Body of Jrhovah's Witnesses guilty of failing to report a] sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear."
^^ TRUE ^^
In a congregation I was in a sister was having problems with an unbelieving mate , two of her friends disguised her as an elderly woman at the meetings in case her husband came looking for her at the KH
As far as I know the Elders turned a blind eye to this charade .
It was bizzaarr , to say the least.
This was over 30 years ago.
