Church elders at Lambton Kingdom Hall in Washington knew that a ministerial servant had abused a young girl but fought against giving evidence in court
Gordon Leighton, a Jehovah’s Witness ministerial servant, admitted when confronted by elders at Lambton Kingdom Hall, in Washington, that he had abused a young girl.

Now he is behind bars after being convicted of a series of sex offences against the youngster.
