Victims from across the UK told the BBC they were routinely abused and that the religion's own rules protected perpetrators.

"I asked [the organisation], 'what should I do? Do you report it to the police, [or] do I report it to the police'?
"And their words were that they strongly advised me not to go to the police because it would bring reproach on Jehovah."

in order for [victims] to take allegations of sexual abuse further, they have to have two witnesses to the abuse

Taking the very playbook of holy mother rome. The former primate of all Ireland and cardinal "father" desmond connell forced a young boy into silence after he disclsed to the diocese that another priest was raping him. This was back in the day when connell was a church lawyer.
