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.
Jehovah's Witness Elder Arrested on Four Counts of Felony Sexual Assault of Minors, Criminal Trial Set - JWsurveyJWsurvey
A former Jehovah’s Witness Elder and Headquarters
member is scheduled to stand trial in July after his arrest on four
counts of second-degree felony sexual assault. Roderick G. Watkins, 56,
of Heber Springs Arkansas, was taken into custody following a November
21st 2018 arrest warrant issued by the Cleburne County Circuit Court.
The charges against Watkins stem from allegations of sexual assault
of at least four minor victims, claims which were brought to the
attention of Detective Jenifer Osborn of the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Department.
All of the victims interviewed appear to be connected to Watkins
through the local Arkansas Jehovah’s Witness congregations where he was a
known and respected elder. Reports indicate that the children assaulted
ranged in age from 6 to 16 years at the time of the crimes.
