Religious organizations and covering up sex abuse: Name a more iconic duo

JW congregations are particularly dangerous because they have a policy not to pursue he-said-she-said allegations and they have a separate policy not to report anything to the state ever. There could be ten different child victims of a rapist who all come forward individually, and it wouldn't matter unless one of them can produce a witness. The church will not do a single thing about it unless there's a witness (or the rapist confesses). And even if there's a witness, they will not share any information with CPS, police, etc.
