Seeking Justice: FBI Investigates Child Sex Abuse in Sect
In a shocking turn of events, the FBI has launched a broad investigation into allegations of child sex abuse within the secretive Christian sect known as the “Two by Twos.” This investigation comes on the heels of a growing number of survivors coming forward from around the world, shedding light on the dark history of sexual predators hidden within the sect.
Survivors Speak Out
For Lisa Webb, who was sexually abused by one of the group’s ministers as a child, the attention brought by the FBI investigation has been both empowering and heartbreaking. Webb recounts her experience of abuse and the struggles she faced in seeking justice. She highlights the camaraderie and support she has found among fellow survivors who are frustrated and disheartened by the sect’s actions.
Decades of Secrecy Unraveled
The origins of the sect, founded in 1897 in Ireland, by William Irvine, are shrouded in mystery and controversy. With a decentralized structure and hidden finances, the sect has managed to evade legal repercussions despite numerous allegations of abuse. Survivors like Webb and Sheri Autrey share their stories of abuse and the challenges they faced in holding their abusers accountable.
Calls for Accountability
As survivors continue to come forward and share their stories, the FBI’s investigation has brought a renewed sense of hope for justice. However, challenges remain as some sect leaders refuse to adopt child abuse prevention policies, citing religious beliefs. The survivors, along with law enforcement, are determined to dig deeper and uncover the truth behind the long-standing culture of silence and secrecy within the sect.
