No way is that possible, and he more than likely participated. It was institutionalized to the point of schedules posted in common areas on who was going to be "sharing" with whom. By this, I mean a top column with the day of the week, a left column with the name of the adult member, and slots filled in with names of other members as well as children as young as ten that were scheduled to "share" which usually meant a sleepover. It was openly discussed in meetings and even in morning devotions, and all of the kids were aware of it and bragged about being included on these shchedules as it was seen as a sign of maturity. I was a member from birth until 15, and was personally handed a copy of the Book Of Davidito to read at the age of 8. I was also present when videos were made of little girls (my friends and classmates). They were made to dress up in skimpy see through outfites and lace underwear and dance on camera, so the videos could be sent to the leader David Berg. I did not learn this was wrong until I was out of The Family, living as "a systemite" in the US. I bragged about these things to friends and aquaintances who did not know of The Family/Children Of God, and only learned from their reactions, ridicule and physical beatings that took place from people who rightfully were disgusted by this and had no frame of reference to understand how I could think it was so normal.
