Under the Jehovah’s Witness two-witness rule, without a confession, two material witnesses are required before an allegation can be established through the congregation’s internal disciplinary process.

The UK Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse concluded that this rule “has no place” in responses to child sexual abuse, “lacks compassion for the victim” and “serves to protect the perpetrator.”

The inquiry also recorded survivor Kerri’s account that when she disclosed abuse by her father, neither an elder nor her mother believed her.
