In a small town in Norway, a police officer was fined with an equivalent of some 1,500 dollars, or subsidiary three days of prison, for failing to bring forth to Social Service and other relevant authorities, information provided him by two elders from the local Jehovah?s witnesses congregation of a DF member having commited sexual abuse of his step daughters. In this case, it was the police that failed, not the JW. (I am not an JW apologist just for bringing this forth).

It seems from the initial news reports on the case, that the perpetrator admitted his guilt during "shepherding visit" and that the elders then went to the police in order to report him. They initially inclinced to be interrogated by the police, but later agreed to testify. This information is based on the newspaper reports.

How sad. I'm glad the cop was punished if he really did what he's accused of.
