A harrowing result of a year-long probe into what extent evidence of child abuse within the Jehovah’s Witnesses was ignored and covered-up
Call Bethel: The Telegraph’s investigative team delivers a powerful podcast.
A five-part series from The Telegraph’s award-winning investigative team looks into decades of alleged child sex abuse in the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It all began when the team received a tip-off in August last year claiming the church had a secret database of abuse allegations.
They decide to follow that lead and what followed was a year-long probe into what extent evidence of child abuse within the Jehovah’s Witnesses was ignored and covered-up by the global organisation.
The two episodes released so far have been promising, with host Katherine Rushton taking listeners through the steps the investigative team took chasing their initial lead and the unexpected events that later followed.
