Alexandra Garth在新南威尔士州议会的调查中作证，详述了她在救赎浸信教会及其办学机构中遭受的极端控制和性骚扰[1]。Garth的祖父Noel Cannon是该教会的创始长老和学校首任校长，叔父Jonathan Cannon现任校长[1]。她声称在12至13岁期间遭到教会成员四次性骚扰，当她向学校报告时，校长责备她穿着不当，而骚扰者仅被暂时停止音乐事工，其后在刑事司法程序中被宣判无罪[1]。
Garth指控该教会对成员实施全面控制，包括绝对的不容置疑的领导、限制与外界沟通、对成员的生活各方面进行管制（教育、婚姻、衣着等），以及将提出质疑的人贬低为"麻烦制造者"[1]。当她试图离开时，四名教会成员拦截了她两个小时，直到朋友的母亲威胁报警，她才得以逃脱[1]。
如今Garth已重建生活，从事护士工作，与伴侣筹划购买首套房[1]。然而，她的父母拒绝与她联系，除非她回归教会[1]。Garth的兄妹中有两人已离开该教会社区，一人仍留在其中[1]。该调查由《悉尼晨驱报》记者Emily Kowal与《60分钟》节目共同进行，耗时六个月[1]。
Alexandra Garth testified before a New South Wales parliamentary inquiry into Redeemer Baptist School, detailing her experiences within the church community and her escape from what she described as an organization defined by authoritarian control [1]. Garth alleged that the church exercised extreme oversight of members' lives, including gender-based discrimination against women, corporal punishment, and inadequate handling of sexual harassment allegations [1].
Garth claimed that between ages 12 and 13, she was sexually harassed on four separate occasions by church members [1]. When she reported the incidents, she stated that the school principal blamed her clothing and dismissed the matter, with the accused harasser merely removed from a music ministry role temporarily before being acquitted in criminal proceedings [1]. As she attempted to leave the organization, Garth recounted being intercepted by four church members for two hours until a friend's mother threatened to call police, warning "if you don't come out by 11:30, I'm calling the police," which prompted her departure [1].
The church's control mechanisms, according to Garth's testimony, encompassed unquestioned leadership authority, restricted communication with the outside world, and micromanagement of members' education, marriage choices, and attire [1]. Those who raised concerns were labeled as "troublemakers" [1]. Garth's grandfather, Noel Cannon, was the church's founding elder and the school's first principal, while her uncle, Jonathan Cannon, currently serves as principal [1].
Today, Garth works as a nurse and is planning to purchase her first home with her partner [1]. However, her parents have refused contact unless she returns to the church [1]. Of her siblings, two have left the organization while one remains [1]. The investigation into these allegations was conducted jointly by The Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes over a six-month period [1].
