It seemed fishy to me even then. I do suspect that the elders knew about Holt's tendencies and were following the guidelines of the Faithful and Discreet Slave (which is to do very little at all). There's likely a connection between Holt's apparent obsession with the petite and youthful-looking Whitney Heichel and his stash of child abuse pornography. Jonathan Holt is ultimately responsibile for the crime but the secrecy in religious settings often create an environment in which predators can remain hidden while continuing to have the trust of members of the congregation. The guy had a key to the Heichel's home and stole an old iPhone from them! He probably won't see the light of day again but it's a shame that an innocent person was taken before that.
