  I've compared this document to the version that Watchtower presented to the ARC. There are two changes:

  • 7. Added a sentence at the end: "A victim or his or her family may also choose to consult a mental-health professional."

  • 9. Changed "learn of a case of child abuse" to "learn of an [b]allegation[/b] of child abuse" (this change was suggested by ARC chairman during the hearing)

  I've made both versions available in WTS Archive:

  EinDenker provides some info:

  I think they try to avoid a word what can be used at a court. It's meaning is very different from the english version if you read it with an eye on the German law:
  „Strafunmündige“ should be replaced against: „Minderjährige, die sexuelle Kontakte miteinander hatten, werden von der Versammlung normalerweise nicht als Kindesmissbraucher angesehen“.
  This give the complete letter a different spin.
  "Strafunmündige" means in Germany persons under 14 years couldn't get a legal saction by the court. (There some trouble with this. Some criminal families use this for doing crimes.)
  This word been replaced with the sentence that a person under 14 years normally don't abuse childs. So they say first he is a criminal that we couldn't put to the court and replace it with the sentence that a person under 14 years don't abuse childs.

  Yes. Confirmed by the Coordinators Committee of the Governing Body, in evidence the Australian Branch submitted to the Australian Royal Commission:

  Letter from the Australasia Branch Committee to the Coordinator’s Committee of the Governing Body regarding the release of the letter to All Bodies of Elders dated 1 Aug 2016 to the Royal Commission

  The leak mentioned in that document was the August 1, 2016 TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS Re: Protecting Minors From Abuse

  This was, to my knowledge, first leaked by user Ich3b over at the exjw sub reddit.
