7:30Now PlayingA bombshell probe in Pennsylvania has implicated nine men in a child sexual abuse scandal within the Jehovah's Witnesses, marking the most extensive and comprehensive investigation of abuse within the church's history in the United States. The grand jury probe began in 2019 and sent shockwaves through the church as a series of charges have been filed in recent months. The investigation is similar to a grand jury proceeding on child sex abuse committed by Catholic priests, which resulted in a lengthy 2018 report stating how dozens of priests abused children for seven decades. The report also described how church officials covered up these incidents of abuse. Critics argue that the Jehovah's Witnesses have long mishandled child abuse cases by treating them as sins rather than crimes and failing to report them to authorities. They also point to the church's requirement for a second witness in abuse complaints as additionally problematic. Despite the church denying these allegations, many have testified before the grand jury or provided information to the state's attorney general, shedding light on this deeply troubling issue. An attorney for one of the accused men stated, "Honestly, this appears to be some sort of attack on their religion. You have all these Jehovah's Witnesses getting charged with some sort of inappropriate behavior. I'm hoping that this is not the attorney general's office piling on due to their religious beliefs."
