Phony Occult Order Lures Teens For Sex

Wednesday October 28, 2009

It's interesting how different writers can portray the same incident. The San Antonio Express reports on a man "accused of creating a 'secret society' to lure teenage girls into having sex with him".

Meanwhile, KENS5 reports that sex was being used to bait students into the occult order. That is to say, the implication is the students were being pressured into occultism, rather than being pressured into sex with a mature adult.

The San Antonio Express's version rings much more true. Unfortunately, this isn't a unique incident. While most occult organizations are entirely consensual and limited to adults, periodically some sicko comes along promising magical powers or mystical insight into the universe to anyone willing to mystically unite with him, aka have sex. Targeting teenage girls is fairly common in these scenarios. They're naive, vulnerable, and relatively easy to control.

These people aren't occultists. They're scam artists. They promise what they can't provide in order to have sex, and sometimes to collect a fawning fan base. This isn't a plot to ensnare people into a shadow organization. It's a plot to obtain sexual gratification.

As a former member of the Caliphate OTO I find this kind of thing both telling and appalling. It was only a matter of time before child molesters began using the occult to seduce children.

The commercialization of the occult through movies, TV, and other media conjoined with the popularization of sex magick practices of groups like OTO has formed a dangerous combination that will doubtless see this scenario repeated.

Some kids are attracted to the occult; I was as a teenager and have since turned youthful exuberance into a life-long pursuit of the mysteries. Often times these kids are loners, outsiders, and the ones for whom conventional religion holds little value. They are perfect targets for sick, twisted predatory adults.

The way to avoid this sort of thing is to further alternative religious study groups for young people. If it’s out in the open, predators can’t use it!

Mad Dog Marcel from Sudbury ON CAN here writing to say that we had the exact same pedder problem from a guy NINO Radichioni luring girls 12 to 13 yrs of age and older younger and got caught !
Only sickening spot that crippled me with hell and fury is that he served nothing practically cried he had some affliction and with meds he would not repeat ?
Now in Canada we are the epitome of soft on these miscreant deviants that crawled out of either a womb or a bowl and this gigantic 7 ft 500 pd sow or swine will with his size to boot make sure the next innocent is not going to tell the police ?
Now what about my daughter who thinks i am a tyrant because this walking true crime book is not far from us and could maybe manipulate her youth and try to do what he has already done only this time no witnesses ?
Me and my wife live in deep paranoia and fear to know he walks the streets here trying to curb his cravings with meds and to think that we heard all of this from around the communitty ?
Because in Canada there are no warnings because of his rights which will become rites if he decides to open another temple on the fly for 16 13 and who knows how young if they can escape the home to earn trust they can end up somewhere for who knows what and well i cannot bear to think of it ?
We have no avenues left and hope someone who has kids like us happens to read this and save a kid somewhere if they send him for the grace of gods somewhere else sorry but if this can save a life i will sleep better and thank the Gods every day for the good people out there who helped stop this animal maggot if only to pass this along or tell someone they know from here or if he is moved remember the name ANYTHING !
GODSPEED Mad Dog Harran at the chop cult valley garage rippin and strippin American Indians Harleys and UK British Nortons and Triumpths for fun and riding and serious Canadian Riding Take Care
