A royal commission will continue to hear from senior officials of the Jehovah’s Witness Church when it resumes its investigation into child sex abuse allegations on Monday.
In the witness stand on day five of the hearing will be church elders and officials from Watchtower Bible Tract Society of Australia – the church’s legal entity.
Last week the commission heard from two women who who went through the Witnesses internal process for dealing with sex abuse allegations.
They revealed they were required to confront their abusers when they gave evidence at an internal judicial hearing before three elders – all men.
