Sorry if this has already been discussed, but,...besides, of course, a black eye on the Org, what can come of this Royal Commission hearing legally or criminally?
According to the RC's website:
"The Royal Commission holds formal public hearings to hear evidence about child sexual abuse within institutions. The hearings do not focus on individual cases, but instead focus on case studies of how institutions have responded to allegations and proven instances of child sexual abuse."
"It’s important to remember that the Royal Commission is not a court of law and cannot make decisions about criminal matters. Rather, the Commissioners will deliver recommendations based on what they discover during a public hearing."
In the end, what possible scenarios could play out? The RC recommends suing/fining the WT Org? Jail time? Could this begin Inquiries in other countries?
