An Albuquerque woman filed a lawsuit claiming a church leader sexually abused her as a child.
Monica Jaramillo said Michael Brunner, an elder at the Jehovah’s Witness church in Los Lunas, sexually abused her when she was just 8 years old.
Jaramillo, now 35, filed a lawsuit claiming other elders of the church knew about the incident but chose to do nothing.
The complaint also alleges Jaramillo’s mother was raped by Brunner.
