  Those show that sexual abuse happens in the Amish community. That is not in question. You can make that claim about almost any community after a certain size and be correct. They don't show it happens more often compared to the rest of society. And with the exception of NPR (somewhat), I find your sources questionable.

    Given the size of the Amish community (less than most mid sized cities), and the cases being spread geographically , and with associated coverups (this is really the differentiator - does the community ostracize the perpetrator or shame the victim into covering it up.

      Nothing you've said thus far proves that it happens more frequently in this community.
