Say it is discovered that a JW member was sexually abusing a child why do they go through their internal ex-communication system before it is reported to the police? They use a scripture in the bible where you need to have two eye witnesses to prove wrongdoing? Not sure where it is though?
I have heard of incidences where the elders decided the abuser wasn't guilty because of the two eye witness rule and hence they haven't reported them to the police or ex-communicated them from the congregation? Now I am pretty sure an abuser does not do it in front of anyone so how can they use that two witness rule to prove wrongdoing?

Yours is an unproven claim.
The old Testament 'rule' of two witnesses is not hard and fast but is a guideline.
Behaviour as you described, if found is acted on immediately and not covered up.
