2005 Letter from former Overseer Ed Alexander to perpetrator

For some background regarding this letter to Howard *:

Howard was convicted in 1969 of raping a 19-year-old girl who was waiting to go into the work. He served time in prison. After his release, he was promoted to Elder with meeting in his home. When the workers became aware he was abusing a child, no appropriate legal or moral actions were taken. Years later, when it was discovered he was abusing yet another child, he was no longer allowed to take part. Again, no appropriate legal or moral actions were taken. In fact, quite the opposite as the following letters clearly show. While this was playing out between the workers and the perpetrator, the victims were silenced, shunned, victim-blamed, and their salvation was weaponized.

Please pay special attention to the fourth and fifth paragraphs on the first page and the second paragraph on the second page.
