ONE of the seven global leaders of the Jehovah’s Witness church gave evidence at a royal commission into child abuse.

Geoffrey Jackson is one of the most senior members of the church.

Mr Jackson was believed to have been staying in Toowoomba for the past week, and flew to Sydney yesterday afternoon.

He was the last witness to testify in a series of hearings into how the organisation handled cases of sexual abuse within the church.
