From what I have read, the church elders “disciplined” Josh, whatever that means. But his father is also an elder, and there was some blame laid upon the victims as well...something along the lines of cautioning them to be modest. That advice is a joke considering the boy entered their rooms at night and forcibly fondled them while they were in bed.
The problems were indeed covered up. They were given a TV show to portray themselves as moral examples, and nothing was known about it until now. Only the Gothard cult and fellow members knew.
Also, the Gothard counseling material for sex abusers has become widely distributed online. It lays quite a bit of blame on the victim. It was said that Josh underwent counseling; if so, that’s what he would have received.
I suppose the girls slept suggestively. Vile Vixens.
Where did you see that information?
