That was my understanding. Actually I believe in some states ANY person is required to report. I also understand that UPC ministers are instructed and possibly even have seminars in regard to these issues.
Well, in the case mentioned, the UPC minister did not report it. The matter eventually is reported by someone - a few years later actually and the man is indicted, arrested and eventually enters a guilty plea and now is required to register as a sex offender. He got 3 years, but all probation. slap
When the incident happened many folks "assumed" he had had an affair and it was left at that. This family had other children, boys and girls, in the home and yet church families were not warned that if they allowed their child to go to the home even for overnight stays, that there was a sexual child molester there.
The child victim was made out as the villan.
