Ruth, I am so sorry for what you've been through. This man was a monster. He abused 4 or 5 relatives of mine as they were young girls in the 50s and 60s.
Do you know which worker the abuse was reported to and are you able to name that worker or pm me their identity?
The trouble is, there is so much stuff to come out that it is entirely possible that it was reported to another abuser.
I was with my older sister when she reported Abram’s sexual abuse to the senior brother worker who was actually labouring in the County at the time, and he was Dennis Fenton (now deceased). As i’ve already mentioned, he was horrified that CSA had taken place and also that my 21year old sister (who Abram had already sexually abused before I went into the bedroom), had allowed me, a child, to enter his bedroom after her. It’s unsure whether Dennis reported this disgusting sexual abuse to the UK overseer at the time, Jack Forbes, but whatever, this predator Abram was allowed to carry on in the Work preaching the Gospel, and in the position where he could sexually abuse other young girls/women thereafter. It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could feel comfortable to allow such vile behaviour to continue, when considering the supreme sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to save us from such.
Ruth, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but Dennis Fenton has also been named just now as a known sexual abuser for many years.
He abused a relative of mine for many years from quite a young age and was known to sexually assault sister workers when he had the power of assigning them their fields and companions for the next year- this I have from a former sister worker who was here in the Uk.
I'm sorry, words are not enough.
Dennis has been named in a Facebook group with the express consent of a victim.
He died in 2010 in Lincolnshire.
Hi Bendle, I personally had my doubts about Dennis Fenton tbh when I reported Abram Dawson’s sexual abuse. Sad to say, one evening when i was in a friends home (early 1970’s), upon opening the sitting room door I saw Dennis with one of the young professing women who was kneeling on the floor in front of him, with his trousers around his ankles and just his turquoise y-fronts on. Needless to say, I was absolutely shocked and quickly turned round and went out the door. A elder in the church in another county told my husband and I of an incident where Dennis broke the springs of a single bed whilst staying in the home of a professing spinster. This is all so sad, when you consider just what they are supposed to be standing up for and who they are representing, forgetting that God knows and sees everything.
Oh my good grief!!!
And to think that he attempted to split my brother and his girlfriend because she'd not professed at that point!!
Beggars belief*!!!
