Robert Corfield, ex-minister of secretive sect, admits to child sex abuse.

A former minister of a secretive Christian church, Robert Corfield, has publicly admitted to sexually abusing a boy in the 1980s. This case is part of allegations involving over 700 alleged abusers within the church, known as The Truth or The Way. The church, with around 100,000 members globally, has been accused of helping abuse to thrive due to its insular and secretive nature, which includes unwritten rules like marrying within the group and minimizing contact with outsiders. The church was founded in Ireland in 1897 and is based on ministers spreading New Testament teachings by word-of-mouth. Advocates for The Truth, an advocacy group, has set up a hotline to receive reports of such cases.
