freddo: I believe - but cannot prove - there is a reported case in Ireland only this year where elders were removed (soundness of mind was the charge can you believe?) because they went to the authorities and what they knew came from either elders "investigations" or judicial records.
Yeah, I think these are the two threads you need to read (it happened in last year, but got media coverage this year):

All Body of Elders in the UK – A Warning!
by Nicholaus Kopernicus inshortly after rising this morning (monday 20th november 2017), i checked the news on the bbc’s teletext service.
in the uk (page 1010) the following had top billing…... “jehovah’s witnesses ‘covered up’ abuse”.
“children who were sexually abused by jehovah’s witnesses were allegedly told by the organization not to report it.. victims from across the uk told the bbc they were routinely abused and that the religion’s own rules protected perpetrators.. one child abuse lawyer believes there could be thousands of victims across the country who have not come forward.. the organization said it did not ‘shield’ abusers and any suggestion of a cover-up was ‘absolutely false’.”.

Nicholaus Kopernicus: I checked the news on the BBC’s teletext service.

2018 Memorial and Special Talk Speculation
by SplaneThisToMe inso we all know that the special talk titled "who really is jesus christ?
" will be given before the memorial next year which is very new.
also new this year is that the special talk will be prerecorded and given by a branch committee member rather than a brother from the local congregation.

Anony Mous: It will be the same old drab talk. But now it will be given by the GB
Unlikely to be GB.
Most congregations will view a talk that has been prerecorded by the branch office, and in many cases, given by a member of the Branch Committee.
Since the speaker in the video recording will demonstrate how to develop an outline and effectively teach from it, each elder and ministerial servant who serves as a public speaker should carefully review the special talk outline, the Ministry School book, pages 52-55, and Reminders for Those Assigned Public Talks (S-141) before the talk is presented in the congregation.

Following Louise Palmer's brief interview with the BBC today - highlighted in the OP - thought I'd post this.....
My parents chose my brother, my abuser, over me. I can never forgive them for betrayalThe Sunday People (Mirror Group, UK), Sunday, October 11, 2015
A woman who was raped by her brother as a child has won justice but paid the heavy price of being disowned by their parents.
Brave Louise Palmer, 38, suffered in silence for decades as her strict Jehovah’s Witness parents protected her abuser.
She was only five when 14-year-old Richard Davenport started molesting her.
He had moved into a caravan in the family’s garden because of a strained atmosphere in the house.
He would offer to take little Louise to stay with him, supposedly to shield her from domestic violence scenes, but actually as an opportunity to abuse her.
For six years Davenport, now 47, put helpless Louise through hell. He stopped only when her periods started and he feared she may get pregnant.
She told parents Trevor and Diane and church elders about the vile abuse but shockingly they did nothing for fear of bringing shame on the name of God.
