I don't have a quote Kent but I do have an example. Recently A female JW sued the WTS and a local group of elders in a sexual abuse case. The allegation was she had been sexually abused by her older brother, also a JW. The abuse had been brought to the attention of the local elders who handled the matter internally without notifying the local authorities. I believe the elders violated state law by not going to the authorities. The abuse continued after the elders counseled the older brother.

I don't know what the outcome of the case was but I understand the WTS settles most cases like this out of court. I'm sure the elders are instructed to handle matters this way in order to keep up appearances.

Gotta look good to those worldly people and apostates.
