All institutions protect themselves first. Jehovah's witnesses have strict rules that forbid warning a new congregation if an abuser gets thrown out and moves onto another. They will not contact authorities nor will they warn anyone else as they ship them off to another region for a fresh start.
It was/is an abusers' paradise. All numbers of criminals mask themselves in piety because it is easy to gain acceptance because the existing adherents are literally mandated to accept/forgive all new people who are "seeking the truth."
I have seen the same thing happen in numerous organizations. The Catholic church is the tip of the ice berg.
