I couldn't find a thread about the Jesus Army, a British Christian group under the leadership of Noel Stanton (died 2009). The Northamptonshire-based sect are now defunct, but under the years it was active about 3,500 recruits lived and worked in a network of communal houses. There were a number of children who were abused, about one in six children within the sect had been sexually abused, and 539 alledged perpetrators have been identified.
