“Evidently, the 16-year-old they say reported abuse has not been found, either.”
Or maybe they aren’t blabbing everything they learn blow by blow, day by day.
Maybe they are trying to assemble a meaningful case against many more individuals and perhaps the instutution itself, in order to shut down their illegal practice of child abuse, (sexual) slavery, etc.
Behaving as they do, hiding it behind a “religion” doesn’t strike me as “religious freedom.”
I was trying to formulate a way to say what you did so perfectly in the above quote. Very well said.
That's why I said "evidently"... never can we be sure of the complete and true story when it comes to a developing law-enforcement issue.
It's very likely the girl was caught up in the net, but just isn't outing herself...and I don't think that it's wise to prematurely reveal her even if they know who she is.
OTOH, because of the nature of law enforcement, and the potential for abuse of the power with it, it's essential for the citizenry to keep on top of things and insist on accountability after the fact.
For example, the following raises some questions that we can't overlook after this all shakes out...
The man originally named in the arrest warrant as suspected of sexually abusing the girl immediately reported to his probation officer in Mohave County, Ariz., last Friday and said he had never met the girl and had not been in Texas in more than 30 years.
Until the authorities find the girl, they will not be able to determine whether she was referring to a different man who may live at the Texas ranch, Captain Caver said.
For what conceivable reason would a church ‘shred’ documents?
Or is this more ‘misinformation’?
“Behaving as they do, hiding it behind a “religion” doesn’t strike me as “religious freedom.””
Not to hijack the thread, but how long before the West finally wakes up and decides that this applies to the Mohammedans, as well?

Separation of church and state goes both ways. You can’t hide abuse behind the shield of religion or break the law of the land and expect protection under religious rights.
Exactly. This was nothing more than a pedophile ring. Their "religion" validated the practice of having sex with underage girls. Sounds like a great religion --if you're a pedophile!
