The lawsuit quotes from an earlier IBLP statement: "At this point, based upon those willing to be interviewed, no criminal activity has been discovered. It if had been, it would have been reported to the proper authorities immediately, as it will be in the future if any such activity is revealed. ... However, the review showed that Mr. (Bill) Gothard has acted in an inappropriate manner, and the board realizes the seriousness of his lack of discretion and failure to follow Christ's example of being blameless and above reproach."
