Children are not adequately protected from the risk of sexual abuse in the Jehovah’s Witnesses, a royal commission has found.

The child abuse royal commission also said it does not consider the Jehovah’s Witnesses to be an organisation that responds adequately to child sexual abuse.

The organisation relies on outdated policies and practices, including the two-witness rule that was devised more than 2000 years ago, the commission’s report released on Monday said.
