Victims’ Group Releases Settlements With 16 Who Claimed Abuse by Elders

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A victims’ rights group has released documents showing that the Jehovah’s Witnesses, also known as the Watchtower Society, recently settled civil suits with 16 people who claimed they were sexually abused by church elders or that church officials failed to act on abuse allegations.

The group, called silentlambs, held a news conference in Nashville to demand that the denomination change its policy for responding to sex-abuse reports.

Silentlambs, most of whose members are former Witnesses, have also held occasional demonstrations outside the Witnesses’ world headquarters on Columbia Street in Brooklyn Heights. On those occasions, the Witnesses refused to meet with them.

Bad enough that these fuckers took the Bossert. Now this.
