On Tuesday, the state Attorney General’s Office charged Aviles with aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors, and related offenses. Now 44, he remains at large. Authorities say they believe he has recently been in Puerto Rico. Four additional Witnesses, ranging in age from 42 to 74, were arrested as part of an ongoing grand jury investigation of child sex abuse within the Witnesses’ organization.

“The details of these crimes are sad and disturbing, facts which are made even more abhorrent because the defendants used their faith communities or their own families to gain access to victims,” said acting Attorney General Michelle Henry.

“Our office will never stop working to seek justice for those who have been victimized, and we will continue to investigate and prosecute anyone who harms the most vulnerable in our society.”

The grand jury probe began in 2019, just a year after The Inquirer published an investigation that examined how Witness leaders routinely ostracized and punished survivors who spoke up about the abuse they suffered, or sought help from police.
