A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: A organização chamou o relatório de 'scientifically and factually incorrect and defamatory' e pediu uma liminar; mais tarde alegou que o Estado estava discriminando ao concentrar-se em uma única comunidade, e disse que não havia adotado a linha direta interna independente recomendada.

Utrecht University news, “Discontent among part of Jehovah's Witnesses about internal handling of abuse complaints”

23 de janeiro de 2020 · Universiteit Utrecht

“751 participants shared their experiences”

Through a contact point set up by the university. Of respondents, about 80% had reported to elders and 27% had filed a police report; 75% were dissatisfied with the internal handling (average score 3.3/10) against 6.4/10 for the police. The team, led by Professor Kees van den Bos, recommended an internal reporting centre with trained staff, elder training, annual reporting and consideration of mandatory reporting; it stressed the findings are not claimed to be fully representative.
