It does happen. We just don't talk about it because of reactions like this. This isn't just LDS ot JW, or Catholics. It's also Baptist, Pentecostal, Holiness, Methodist, Lutheran, SDA, Episcopalian, Evangelical, Apostolic, non-denominational. We don't talk about other abuses either, because of reactions like this. And just FYI, the cops are clients and abusers, too. In my hometown, the ATF cop used to ply young girls with seized contraband to make them more compliant.
This isn't just rich people, like in the Epstein files. It's poor people who can't buy groceries, pay the light bill, the mechanic, the rent. Or women who want antiques or men who want a promotion.

Being a pharmaceutical researcher, Wesker likely could have done this with more access to paywalled studies.

This is wilful ignorance, at best. I'm willing ti concede it probably doesn't happen as much in the Netherlands as the USA, but the population is a lot less, too.
Elsewhere, I said:
Do you think Western women are exempt? It happens so frequently. I recently had a proustite tell me one of her children was by rape by a family member. Another was trafficked at ab early age to her mother's abuser for a discount on antiques. Not free antiques, a discount. The mother was extremely abusive because this woman chose poverty over prostitution, or legalized prostitution by marrying a rich man. Another who was trafficked to her stepfather before school age was murdered by a client. Several more traffic try to traffic themselves then end up pimped, for "protection."
All this in a small village of less than 500 with no less than 20 churches, mothers and/or traffickers all in attendance, the men pimps and johns pastors, deacons, elders. Many end up married to their avoiders, for a veneer of respectability the abusers had from being born the correct gender...

- Comment on The Muck Files: Dishing the dirt on the UK’s chicken waste trade 4 days ago:
The parent companies of Avara Foods and Moy Park – Cargill and JBS – are no strangers to environmental controversies. Indeed, lawyers in the forthcoming legal case against Cargill will argue that the company knew of the potential consequences of industrial-scale chicken farming because of similar legal challenges in the US.
.>
In one instance, after being sued by the city of Tulsa, Cargill along with other companies settled out of court, agreeing to pay a combined $7.5m with no admission of liability. They argued that their contracted growers were responsible for managing waste from their farms. In another, in Oklahoma, the companies again denied liability and the case is ongoing.Yet this was apparently ignored as the corporate playbook was rolled out to spur the expansion of intensive chicken production in Herefordshire. Similarly, Pilgrim’s Pride, JBS’s US-based poultry producer, has previously faced questions from shareholders relating to potential water pollution connected to its chicken supply chains stateside.
Always the ones you most suspect. Cliché for a reason.
