Six years after failing to report sexual abuse in the Amish community, a local bishop admitted to covering up the allegations.
Christ Stoltzfus was mandated to report the sex abuse allegations
under Child Protective Services law but failed to report the abuse in
2011. Stoltzfus, 69, of Roller Road in Mifflin Township, told
investigators that he was informed one of the incidents "wasn't really
that bad" during an interview in February 2017, according to state
police.
A month prior to Stoltzfus' interview with police, a member of
Stoltzfus' church told troopers he informed the bishop of the cases of
child sexual abuse that occurred in 2011. Both cases involved Daniel Ray
Fisher, 44, of Weaver Road in Mifflin Township, records state.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
