Jehovah's Witnesses Sue Reporter Over His Investigation Into Child Abuse.

This is my public statement:

On Sunday morning, February 11th, 2024, I was served with a civil lawsuit by 11 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Pennsylvania, suing me for several million dollars in relation to my reporting on the criminal Statewide Investigation of child sexual abuse within the Jehovah’s Witness Church. I am scheduled to go to trial in October of this year in Philadelphia.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses filed this case in Federal Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The JWs filed the case under seal, meaning the public had no access to this case. My attorneys and I were able to get the case unsealed on November 25, 2024. The case is now available to the public on CourtListener and Pacer.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses allege that in the course of my work as a reporter, I invaded their privacy and violated wiretap laws. My response to their complaint addresses these claims.

In the litigation, the JWs have demanded that I name every Jehovah’s Witness I have communicated with in the last five years regarding the faith of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Clearly, I have an obligation to protect whistleblowers and journalistic sources, and I will not reveal those sources.

As a reporter, protecting my sources is essential. Because of this, I have been forced to hire expert legal counsel for my defense, with costs expected to be more than $150,000.

The investigation and publishing of accurate information about child abuse within the Jehovah’s Witness Church is essential, and reflects similar reporting about other organizations and religious groups. Without this reporting, the cries of victims often go unanswered, and their stories buried beneath layers of injustice.

My mission has always been to shed light on these crimes, force change, and do so without cost to the public. While I am limited in what I can say right now, I am grateful that the public can see for themselves what has happened.

@ihavemanylayers Reading this reminded me of my grandfather, who is the COBE of his congregation and my mom. I hate that they will never know my husband or our future children.

@haydeniramay I used to talk to a guy that would bring his own interpreter and I used to go with my best friend because of the same issues. I stopped because it just makes the provider think that it’s the accepted practice. I started sending an ADA packet and interpreter list
