Founder of the Watchtower, C.T. Russell was accused by his estranged wife of improper relations with their foster daughter:
"During the trial Mrs. Russell's attorney alleged that in 1894 Mr. Russell had engaged in "improper intimacy" with Rose Ball, by then a 25-year-old woman. The Russells had cared for her as a foster daughter said to be an orphan. Mrs. Russell alleged that Ball had told her Mr. Russell claimed to be an amorous "jellyfish floating around" to different women until someone responded to his advances. Mr. Russell denied the accusations and said he had never used such language to describe himself.[79] When the judge asked Mrs. Russell if she was accusing her husband of adultery, she replied, "No".
