  A paedophile used his position within the Jehovah's Witnesses to sexually abuse three girls for years - as young as five.

  Michael John Hewitt, 71, abused his victims over several decades, starting in the 1980s, at home while they were all under 16.

  Two of his victims were aged just five when Hewitt began abusing them at both their homes and his while he was a member of the congregation.

  At least the end process worked. When the abuse became known the authorities were notified and the authorities took action based on the crime.

  He was charged with 11 offences and later acquited of 3, but that still leave 8 accounts! That bastard, and I imagine that the authorities were never called until late.
