I'm glad this is all coming out so, hopefully, everyone can wake up. The show, Escaping Poligamy, has also talked about child sexual abuse and about being groomed to marry a relative.
The Amish community needs further investigation as well. Anytime there is a closed off society in our country, it seems there are more child predators since the children have no one to go to and are re-victimized if they try to seek help. Just like Scientology, the Amish victim is punished for tarnishing a member's name. The following article is one Amish woman's testimony though there are more articles online of abuse.

This reminds me to add another religion to the pedophilic religion list: Mormonism
