I don't know of any organization operating in the conditions they typically do, and with such a vulnerable demographic, is not going to be an attractive target for these types of criminals. If it were the Trump admin, they'd just ignore it and make efforts to recruit more sex abusers. Although the story is appalling, I'm confident that DWB is highly motivated to clean up its act. Things fall apart and good people have to put them back together.
