According to the article, the man had previously served 10 years in prison for rape. Was already a Level 3 sex offender when "appointed" as an elder.
From the article...
"SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - A 62-year-old Springfield man, classified as a Level 3 Sex Offender is facing years in jail after being found guilty on multiple counts of Indecent Assault and Battery on a Child.
The female victim in this case was 13-years-old at the time, according to the Hampden District Attorney’s Office.
Jay Aaron Smith, who serves as elder in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Springfield according to authorities, faced 4 Counts of Indecent Assault and Battery on a Child Under 14.
He was recently found guilty by a Hampden Superior Court jury and on Wednesday a judge sentenced him to 15 years in prison followed by 5 years probation.
According to Jim Leydon, representative of the Hampden DA’s Office, the sexual abuse happened over a number of months.
“The abuse of the child appears to have occurred over a series of several months from late 2020 through early 2021, the child would have been 13 years old at the time,” Leydon noted.
We’re told Smith previously served 10 years in prison in Georgia for rape in the late 1980′s. He was classified by the State of Massachusetts’ Sex Offender Registry Board as a Level 3 Sex Offender at the time of these offenses.
In this latest case, the Hampden DA called the female victim brave for bringing Smith to justice.
“I am deeply grateful to the brave survivor for bringing this abuser to the light of justice. Her courage and strength keeps other children safe from this predator. I thank the survivor, the jury, detectives with the Springfield Police Department, and Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Vasiliades, who is assigned to my office’s Special Victim’s Unit, for her skillful prosecution of this case.”
Hampden District Attorney, Anthony Gulluni"

"I stand"
@Vander, my brother, we all know you were standing in that truth correctly already!🫶
"Stand firm, therefore, with the belt of truth fastened around your waist"
You've been exposing the GB as frauds for a long time. Thank you😌!

Haha, those aren't Jehovah's guys...they are doing the work of their father...
John 8:44-47
Jesus said to those religious leaders, the "Governing Body" of that day..."You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie. Because I, on the other hand, tell you the truth, you do not believe me. Who of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why is it that you do not believe me? The one who is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why you do not listen, because you are not from God."
"I think their main interest is protecting" Jehovah's Satan's "Governing Body."
so after being rudely awakened by a cat fight outside (it's 3am here in the uk) and then proceeding to go outside to rescue my cats from the neighbourhood tom....... i'm now laying wide awake trying to make sense of jw "truth".
(it's all my mind does these days, the lights gone on and won't turn off).
anyway i found myself reading about the gb and came across these fellows , greenlees, chapman and chitty.
@stanlivedeath, I know Jehovah hears all of our cries of anguish because of the horrid things the WTBT$ has done.
Matthew 21:21,22
"In answer Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what I did to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And all the things you ask in prayer, having faith, you will receive.”"
In context, Jesus was talking about the Pharisaical scribes and religious leaders and their leaven.
Mark 11:22,23
"In reply Jesus said to them: “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you that whoever tells this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but has faith that what he says is going to happen, he will have it happen."
Just as the mountain-like wicked hypocritical religious system of things was torn down in Jesus' day, so it will be again in our day.
Luke 17:6
"Then the Lord said: “If you had faith the size of a mustard grain, you would say to this black mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea!’ and it would obey you.""
The prayers of those who beg Jehovah to tear down the branches (in fact the whole "tree") of the rotten Watchtower will be answered soon.
Revelation 18:21
"And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again.""
Just as Jehovah allowed the governments of the nations to tear down the religious system of things in the first century Jerusalem, so He will allow the governments to tear down the religious institutions on a grander scale in our day. Jehovah will do this in answer to our prayers.
i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.
"actions are all the more disturbing"

@drearyweather
As regards his participation in the CSA case here, did Gerrit Losch use it as an opportunity to comfort and shepherd and build up the flock?
Nope. He said under oath that he doesn't have a say in the policies in the organization.
Jesus said to shepherd his little sheep. These guys throw the sheep under the bus and then try to hide behind the legal departments.
The GB/FDS don't follow Jesus. The GB/FDS are not shepherds, they are liars. They're like the "hired man" that abandons the sheep. It doesn't matter how many legal departments the WTBT$ tries to hide behind. It is very clear that the "light" in them is really "darkness".
"If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is!"
Jehovah hears the cries of the CSA victims. Jehovah will see that they get justice. Jehovah will allow the governmental authorities to tear down the Watchtower. The WTBT$ does not have Jehovah's protection. Their days are numbered. "MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN."

"unverified video"
@drearyweather -
If you read the very next letter underneath that video link, the Legal Department themselves verify the video.
jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the gentile times are fulfilled.
— luke 21:24 .
the bible book of luke records jesus prophecy of the last day with his parousia including the verse about the gentile times.
The context of Isaiah chapter 6 shows that Isaiah was a humble man who acknowledged his own imperfections. He wasn't going around "blaming" people for being stupid. The people were stupid of their own accord, and he was just observing it. It's the same thing that happened in Jesus' day. It happens today too.
Both Isaiah and Jesus made clear that the deficiency wasn't in the intelligence of the people who didn't understand. It was deficiency in their hearts. The people were stupid-hearted.
