The Candace Conti Verdict Explained - Why the Watchtower has been punished over child abuse
The guilty verdict was for allowing a known child molester in their congregation to be kept a secret so he was able to continue his abuse on more children. The guilty verdict was for their official documented policy being to hide paedophiles and keep their identity secret. The guilty verdict was because they could have prevented the abuse but chose not to. The guilty verdict was for protecting paedophiles before children. The guilty verdict was for caring more about their own organisation's reputation than a child's innocence. And now they announced they are going to appeal. It was never about the money. Candace asked for 1 cent in damages from each of those claiming to be ruling the Jehovah's Witnesses.
