Perris, California mid 90's spirit appointed presiding overseer in the Spanish hall who is married and has 2 girls adopts a 14 year old girl.
After a couple of years, the adopted girl gets pregnant and the presiding overseer tells his ass kissing yes men elders that she was raped and meeting with her would only traumatize her more. So elders do not investigate. When the baby is born, she looks exactly as the spirit anointed presiding overseer elder. Congregation and circuit start to talk but no investigation is done as the yes men elders are obeying the theocratic order by submitting to the presiding overseer.
2 elders move to the congregation and start to rock the boat and demand an investigation. The spirit appointed presiding overseer and his yes men elders start to harass these two elders and even attack them and their families from the platform. They are eventually removed for not working in harmony with the body of elders and having bad judgment.
Eventually the young adopted girl now adult, confesses to their deeds and both her and the spirit anointed presiding overseer elder are expelled. He divorces his wife and marries his step daughter. No one called the police. The spirit anointed presiding overseer name is Jose Tejada and his step daughter now wife is Carmen Tejada.
The body of elders said they were just following directions from the presiding overseer and that's why they removed the 2 elders who wanted to investigate the matter.
When you have a cult constantly telling the membership to obey, respect and submit to theocratic authority and never take any action or speak against elders, you produce an immoral atmosphere where those in power are above the law and can get away with sins and crime in this case.
