Anony Mous, your comment makes no sense and has nothing to do with reality.
Also, I've found the decision in question, and it strikes me as a blatant travesty of justice.

Are you serious?
The share of civil lawsuits does not correlate with the prevalence of abuse, not to mention that JWs make up more than .3 percent of the NY state population.

Apology to Jehovah’s Witnesses
In June 2020 News Corp Australia published a report about the religious organisation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah’s Witnesses have claimed the report contained allegations about the organisation that were false and defamatory. News Corp Australia apologises to Jehovah’s Witnesses for any damage or loss that may have been caused by the article.https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/apology-to-jehovahs-witnesses/news-story/77b722c86a19ffe227e1ed27348f2eff
