The Jehovah’s Witnesses face a million-pound legal bill after a young girl was sexually abused by one of its members.
The victim, now aged in her 20s, was molested by an elder, or “ministerial servant”, Peter Stewart, over a five-year period in Loughborough in the 1980s and ’90s, London’s High Court heard.
Last year, a judge ordered the organisation to pay £275,000 compensation to the victim or failing to protect her or to warn other parents about Stewart.
