==Allegations of abuse==

After Stanton's death in 2009, the Jesus Army supplied allegations to [[Northamptonshire Police]] of sexual offences committed by Stanton and others, and as of 2019 there were 43 complainants of historic sexual and physical abuse.<ref name=bbc-20190719>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48447066 |title=Jesus Army sex scandal: The dark secrets of life in a commune |last=Ironmonger |first=Jon |work=BBC News |date=19 July 2019 |access-date=19 July 2019}}</ref> The Jesus Fellowship Redress Scheme was available to those who suffered harm, abuse and/or adverse experiences within the Jesus Fellowship community. 

The scheme to compensate members identified 539 alleged perpetrators of alleged abuse and revealed about one in six children had been sexually abused; 601 individuals applied for damages, though the trust recognised the true number of victims was likely to be greater. The trust accepted ultimate responsibility for 264 alleged abusers, 61 percent of them former leaders. Some twelve former members of the Jesus Fellowship Church have been convicted for indecent assaults and other offences.<ref name="BBC">{{cite news |title=One in six children sexually abused in Jesus Army cult |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0qejd0njpeo |access-date=13 September 2024 |work=BBC News |date=13 September 2024}}</ref>
