Pat Garza Publicly accuses Ted Jaracz (current Governing Body member) of molesting her as a child on the front steps of 25 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY. Fifth Estate Coverage of the March. CNN/Connie Chung Interview.
Spiritual Shepherds
What to watch: The Fifth Estate (CBMT-6, 9 to 10 p.m. ) features Spiritual Shepherds, an explosive full-length report hosted by Bob McKeown that reveals disturbing allegations and evidence of sexual abuse of minors by elders of the Jehovah's Witness Church in Canada and the United States .
McKeown's interviews with abuse victims are heartbreaking and revealing, as they share their s tori es of being shamed, shunned and ultimately exiled by a church hierarchy more interested in keeping their allegations a secret than protecting defenseless children from horrific acts of abuse that they allege.
It's a shocking, powerful program that's sure to make waves in the Church, the officials of which refused to respond to the victims' allegations on camera, though not for a lack of trying on the part of the tenacious McKeown and the Fifth Estate team. The likely impact of this kind of report is precisely why it's essential media organizations continue to devote the substantial time and resources required to produce such important investigative journalism.
