Rev. Mack Wallace Mitchell And Unitarian Universalist Sexual Slavery - What's The Connection?

Can U*Us say Phuni aka Phuntsock Meston?

I only just came across this article headlined 'Winchester shop puts focus on karma, crafts and connectivity' which was published in August 2015 today. I ran a Google search on - Mack Mitchell Tibetan - and it was in the search results. In this article we are told that Phuntsock Meston was only 14 years old when Rev. Mack Wallace Mitchell took her away from her family of Tibetan refugees in India to be his live-in sex slave. Most other news reports that I have read report that Phuntsock was 16 when this occurred. Either way, 14 or 16, Phuntsock Meston was a minor aka child when Rev. Mack Wallace Mitchell began raping her repeatedly over a time span measured in years. So how was it possible for corpse-cold Unitarian UUA Moderator Jim Key aka Risk Management Consultant James "See No Evil" Key to say:

"There were NO incidents of abuse of children or elders in my investigations."

in the "less than honest", and thus utterly worthless, UUA Board official apology to victims-survivors of Unitarian Universalist clergy sexual misconduct aka clergy sex abuse that Jim Key inappropriately sandwiched into the middle of his first Moderator's Report to a General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association aka UUA GA in 2014?

Not that there aren't other Unitarian Universalist ministers who have been charged, tried, and convicted of what the UUA's Canadian attorney describes as "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape". . .

Life was difficult. Everyone was looking for work, Meston said. And when an older sister returned to the settlement with news that she had met an American Unitarian minister who was helping local children escape poverty and receive an education in the U.S., he was welcomed.

“Nomadic people are all heart and soul,” Meston said. “They are very trusting. You don’t say what you don’t mean. They are trusting and kind and believe in the goodness in every human being.”

The minister “did a good job convincing my family that I was a smart little girl wasting herself in a refugee camp where school only went up to 10^th grade,” Meston said. “He was sent to save us, this man of God. They were honored by his visit. If he said he saves little girls, they took him at his word.”

Meston was 14 when she was sent off to the United States with the minister, Mack W. Mitchell, who imprisoned her in his farmhouse in Northborough and sexually abused her for five years. During that time, she attended his church and went to high school.

Her mother died without ever knowing what had happened to her daughter.

When Mitchell brought home two more girls from her village, Meston, who by then had met her husband Daja, summoned the courage to testify against him. According to a 2005 article in the Metro West Daily News, Mitchell was convicted of two counts each of rape, unnatural rape, and indecent assault and battery in 1992 and sentenced to 10 to 20 years in state prison. Meston said he only served three years of the sentence, in part because she was the only one of the three willing to testify.
After the trial, Meston began attending classes at Brandeis University in Waltham, where she pursued a degree in women’s studies.

“Everything took off,” she said. “I got a vocabulary to talk about my experiences. I was a sponge. I loved it so much.”

She appeared on the Oprah Winfrey program in 2005 to speak on the topic of sexual slavery. It was important, she felt, to not be seen as a victim.

“I wanted to give voice for those still suffering, who don’t have time to do the work of healing,” she said. “To give empowerment to survivors and to highlight the issue of labor and sexual trafficking in the West.”
