Welcome to Murder Minute. On today's episode, Dorothy Jane Scott, but first your true crime headlines.

In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, an Amish Bishop is facing felony and misdemeanor charges for

failing to report suspected child abuse to proper authorities.

63-year-old Levi Esh Sr. is the Bishop of two Amish congregations in the county,

which is home to the largest Amish population in the world.

A member of one of his congregations, 41-year-old John Biler, allegedly confessed to the

Bishop that he had sexually assaulted three girls sometime in 2012 or 2013.

The Bishop instructed Byler to confess the assaults to the girls father

and excommunicated him from the church, but did not report the crimes to police.

When other members of the congregation questioned Esh about the church's handling of the assaults, the bishop told them that it had been

handled internally and that they should let it go. The Amish are adherence to a

separatist Christian sect that focuses on simple living

foregoing modern conveniences like cars and cell phones and limiting contact

with non-Amish. Their religion focuses on forgiveness and

repentance and serious crimes like

sexual assault are often regarded as sins by church elders, many of whom

choose to administer discipline through the church rather than involving police.

Esh remains free on $25,000 unsecured bail.

Biler, who faces multiple charges of indecent assaults of a child, corruption of minors, and

unlawful contact with minors, is free on $75,000 unsecured bail according to court records.
