Call For Help: A disinformation campaign has been launched attacking the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

The below photo image, as shared with JW Leaks, was recently taken from a computer believed to belong to a person who is part of a group of individuals that are attacking and trying to undermine the findings and credibility of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, by spreading disinformation.

LATEST UPDATE (April 29, 2024) | JW Leaks thanks all who assisted over the past two weeks in identifying the primary source of the disinformation campaign attacking the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

The individual, an ex-Jehovah’s Witness who describes herself as a “celebrity”, is a police-registered ‘stalker’ and is the subject of numerous current court orders against her relating to this sort of conduct.

JW Leaks are also in receipt of a video in which this ‘stalker’ discusses in detail, key aspects of her disinformation campaign, including the exact false information that has been circulating on the internet about Volume 5, Private sessions of the Final Report of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Material in the video, as shared by the ‘stalker’ via YouTube, was subject to a ‘do-not-publish’ court order. The video has now been referred to the police for investigation.

This ‘stalker’ has also been identified as the exact same person that members and supporters of the Say Sorry website were forced to take a stalking intervention court order against. This is discussed in the article linked below.

PREVIOUS UPDATE (April 18, 2024) | A special thanks from JW Leaks to everyone who sent in messages identifying a potential owner of the computer database “BEASTZILLA” as depicted in the below image (Item 1 in red). The person will be contacted and asked to assist in identifying the primary person/s behind the disinformation campaign and attacks on the royal commission.

Can you identify the computer and the image? If so, we need your help. Why?

Someone has launched a disinformation campaign claiming that the Final Report of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, namely Volume 5, Private sessions, has been edited by the Royal Commission and reduced to only six pages.

Further information obtained by JW Leaks points to a concerted effort by a number of persons to potentially ‘destroy’ the findings and credibility of the Royal Commission, not only those findings against the Watchtower Society and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, but also the findings of the entire Final Report against all institutions named.

The primary target for the disinformation campaign appears to be the ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses community and survivors of childhood sexual abuse from out of the Jehovah’s Witnesses institution.

The information being privately spread via social media is completely false.

The full contents of Volume 5, Private sessions are, and have always been available, on the official Child Abuse Royal Commission website. See download link below:

LINK | Final Report: Volume 5, Private sessions

Item 1 (in red), as circled on the above computer screen image, identifies that the disinformation document is on a private computer and not on the official Child Abuse Royal Commission website.

Item 2 (in red), as circled on the above computer screen image, identifies that the document on this private computer is only six pages in size. Volume 5, as available on the Child Abuse Royal Commission website is 467 pages in total.

Item 3 (in red), as circled on the above computer screen image, contains the name of the report that the person publishing the disinformation is trying to claim the document is a full copy of.

Further, according to sources, the person/s behind the disinformation campaign are also falsely claiming that the Child Abuse Royal Commission removed the online private session narratives from the official government website. This claim is completely false. The private session narratives, including those about the Jehovah’s Witnesses, are still published as an online appendix on the official Child Abuse Royal Commission website. See download link below.

Disinformation and the harm it causes

The publishing and spreading of disinformation, especially about the findings and Final Report process of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, is not only insidious but is highly offensive and damaging to all survivors of child sexual abuse within the Jehovah’s Witnesses institution and the Australian community.

There is no rationale or excuse to publish such disinformation. Perpetrators of this type of conduct need to be held to account and need to be called out.

If you have information on who these persons are, or can assist further in investigating this matter, please contact JW Leaks via the below email so that appropriate action can be taken; including, where appropriate, referral to the Office of the Attorney General of Australia and the Australian Federal Police.
