There is no doubt in my mind that some, perhaps many of the perpetrators within the family that committed rape and pedophilia were pedophiles and rapists within themselves, entirely independent of family docrine from the top. (And some were coerced, but that is not for me to decide. But for a court of law or between victim and perpetrator.) I think it is important to say this. AND IN THESE CASES in particular, it is not about Bergs doctrine. After all, there were many people that joined after the sexualization of the family's doctrines occurred, and who were attracted because of those very things. Also, there would have been some that had that in them and were glad that the family from the top legitimized that type of behavior.
Certainly the direct victims are the ones whose hands it is in to decide whether or not they want to prosecute. And the court of law in that case, is who will determine what the outcome of any case is that comes to them.
Personally, I think it would be great if the SGs set up a legal defense fund amongst themselves and for whoever wanted to donate (whether other SGs, FGs, corporations, or WHOMEVER), (to benefit whoever wanted to prosecute) so that they could have the anonymity of who wanted to go after whom, but those giving would know only that their funds are going to a worthy cause.
