Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. IICSA

[JOHN BUTLER]

I was having a discussion on here somewhere with someone, concerning the IICSA investigation into JW Org in the UK. 

I've just received this email from them so thought I'd put it up on here for people to look at. 

It doesn't copy and paste exactly as it looks on my email, but here it is anyway :- 

Our reference: IICSA-0013979

 

Dear Mr Butler

Thank you for contacting the Inquiry on 3 February.

As you may be aware, the Inquiry is investigating institutional failure to protect children from sexual abuse in the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. In June 2015 it issued a retention order covering documents of interest to the Inquiry to the leaders of 18 prominent religious organisations, including the Jehovah's Witnesses.  

The Inquiry has received correspondence from a considerable number of individuals raising concerns about child sexual abuse within Jehovah's Witnesses organisations. At present the Inquiry is committed to delivering its existing programme and is not currently launching any new investigations. However, as our work progresses, we will consider calls for a Jehovah's Witnesses specific investigation carefully.

Any updates on our investigations, including scope and hearings can be found on our website at www.iicsa.org.uk/investigations

Investigations The Inquiry has launched 13 investigations into a broad range of institutions identified on the basis of the Panel’s criteria for selection of investigations. The investigations will give a voice to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, enable the Inquiry to understand how institutions have failed to protect children from sexual abuse and make practical recommendations to ensure better institutional protection for children in the future. www.iicsa.org.uk

 

I am sorry for the delay in responding to you and I hope that you have found this information useful. If you have any questions regarding the contents of this email, please do not hesitate to contact the Inquiry again.

Yours sincerely

Jodie Yarborough

This must be extremely stressful to you, since the link you supplied points to 13 specific areas of inquiry, all but the first thought to be possible hotbeds of CSA, and the religion you despise is not among them.

From the email I received. " In June 2015 it issued a retention order covering documents of interest to the Inquiry to the leaders of 18 prominent religious organisations, including the Jehovah's Witnesses. " 

18 different religions, apart from all the government departments and other institutions. So give them a chance.

It doesn't say that the JW Org is not worth investigating does it ? It's just not top priority. 

It is sad for the victims of JW Org sexual abuse here in the UK to have to wait longer, but I think the investigation will happen in time.

As for me despising any religion well those are your words Tom not mine.

@JOHN BUTLER Have you heard anything from when you tried to contact the Police about the abuse in your old hall?

No. But I gave them enough details in one message that it should have got some sort of response. 

They have my name and email address. They have the KH address. They have all the information I have.

John:

Short if vigilante justice, which often is not even remotely connected to Justice ... your job is DONE!

I am proud of you, after all these month's of discussion that wandered the known universe of thought, to "pull the trigger".

Sleep well at night, and forget about it.

You earned it!

Good fortune with your endeavours - most probably they will only follow up on the JW to make one good example to the nation of him.......  They only do something when the person is poor with no influence or is not from the protected minority groups.

We all know they have tons of child trafficking groups in England who are protected by the upper echelons of society.   Muslims marry 9 year olds  against their will and rape young girls in gangs with impunity. Why  they even have princes  who get away with child sex. .....

I often wonder why they only target the JWs (who do not condone this behaviour but seem to have a few degenerates among them) ..... but balk from becoming activists against an injust police /justice system in their own country -  which not only condones it - but cover up evidence and in some cases persecute those who expose child sex rings and  human trafficking  of children for sex.   Some even go to prison for exposing child rape gangs.

@Anna Now that you mentioned it I remember that too. So far no information I had seen in the UK regarding the mental ill person who committed the act. For the past few months I was focused on not just my ministry, but grave things concerning csa in several parts of the world.

@Arauna The UK is far worse when it comes to child abuse. So much as so, some even commit the idea that the gov't let's certain folks go, while some who they do not recognize are the ones to be sent away; locked up.

I hope you have firsthand knowledge and the information wasn't given to you by a third party that you submitted. That kind of exposure can have consequences. However, concerning the letter. The point to consider is no new investigations are being conducted in their inquiry.
