Misty Griffin, an activist, and a former Amish lady was sexually abused by the same bishop who was supposed to protect her. ” Sins of the Amish”, a documentary series, is covering the story which premiered on Tuesday, May 24. 

“Sins of the Amish,” a riveting two-part Peacock documentary series, digs into the horrible tales of sexual assault within the Amish and Mennonite communities. Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy directed the film, which tells the stories of strong ex-Amish women who chose to speak out against their abusers and boldly stand up for themselves and their loved ones.

Misty Griffin, an activist, and novelist is one such individual who has been relentlessly working for justice for other survivors. She not only bravely reported her assailant to the authorities, but she also published her self-written book to inspire others.

Misty Griffin Husband Vincenzo Piccirillo? Children

Very little is known about Misty Griffin’s husband Vincenzo Piccirillo. She stated that he had encouraged her for a long time to write the book that would become ‘Tears of the Silenced.’

The couple is happy together and is currently living in Pasadena, California, while Misty continues to be an activist for abuse survivors. Moreover, Misty hasn’t revealed any information about her children, and she hasn’t posted any pictures of her husband and kids on Instagram.

Misty Griffin Family Background: Her Early Life

Misty Griffin was not born into the Amish community, but her mother and stepfather began reading books about the Amish community and quickly embraced the community’s norms for their family.

Her mother and stepfather, according to Misty, mistreated her and her sister. The two sisters had been raised as Amish since they were six years old on an isolated mountain property in Northern Washington. The situation was so bad that the girls were supposedly forbidden from mixing with strangers.

Misty attempted to flee when she was nearly 19 years old but was transferred to live in a tiny, strict Amish town, where she and her sister were adopted by two families. She moved into the bishop’s residence three years later to assist his sick wife in caring for seven of their children under the age of twelve. The bishop is the most powerful figure among the Amish, and he is at the pinnacle of the social order.

According to Misty, the bishop began sexually abusing her within days of her moving in with him and his family by indecently exposing himself to her on many occasions. After six months of constant abuse, Misty said she found the bishop was also abusing his 12-year-old daughter. This is when she decided to report her abuser’s horrific conduct to the authorities.

What Is Misty Griffin Doing Now? Her Whereabouts

When the bishop and his family returned to the nation in 2016, Misty Griffin’s efforts to get him punished for his crimes paid off. To save their younger sister, his older daughter sought help from a church member in their new neighborhood and denounced him for child abuse. He admitted to abusing six of his children and pled guilty to child molestation. He is currently serving a 10-year jail term.

Misty, on the other hand, has become a support group for ex-Amish abuse sufferers. She now lives in Pasadena, California, with her husband and continues to help survivors of domestic violence.
