I wouldn't exactly call it a "Pedo-Ring" in an organized way, although, 2 of the recently arrested kind of did just that with one of victims. (passed around) I think child abuse is just prevalent and rampant in this area, and it's been so covered up for decades that it's almost standard operating procedure for these Congregations at this point.
We also have a large Amish community in this region as well. They are notorious for their CSA and covering it up as well. It's just crazy like that around here. My parents (victims of CSA as children themselves, not JW at the time) were highly protective of me, and hence I didn't realize the extent of what I was surrounded by until my late teens. The info coming out about and from families I grew up with and around is jaw-dropping for me to witness from my vantage point. Utterly jaw-dropping. Both of my parents passed away before I was 30, and before any of this really broke in the media. I often think how they must be spinning in their graves. While protective of me, they often (naively) thought how things like this would NEVER happen in Jah's Organization, because of some sort of special divine intervention or protection. (total horseshit)
