To date, the Osho incident was
the largest act of bioterrorism
ever committed on United
States soil, putting it among
the famous murders
committed by cults. Major
leaders of the cult were then
convicted for a multitude of
crimes associated with the
mass poisoning.
Goel Ratzon
Goel Ratzon is an obscure cult
based in Israel, and like many
other cults that are known for
sexual abuse scandals, Ratzon
preaches a lot about love and
sex.
The leader of this cult, Goel,
espoused the importance of
marriage and procreation. As a
result, he had over 20 wives and
fathered a total of 38 children
with them. That alone would
raise an eyebrow, but it actually
gets worse.
He was convicted of aggravated
sexual assault, with many
victims being children, some of
them even being his own
daughters.
Even if you have devoured all of
the true-crime books you must
read, chances are high that you
have never heard of NXIVM
until fairly recently. This
relatively new cult made
international headlines after it
was uncovered that Smallville
actress Allison Mack was a
member.
Tabloid pointed out that Mack
was recruiting sex slaves for the
NXIVM cult and even
encouraged new followers to
be branded with a symbol
related to the cult. As it ends
up, Allison Mack was a very high
ranking member of the cult.

Mack herself was known for
putting her hands on women's
chests while telling them to "feel
the pain and think of the
master" while women were
being branded. She also
allegedly blackmailed women
by threatening to releases nudes
and damaging information
about them if they didn't
acquiesce.
What's strange about this cult
isn't just sex slavery or branding;
it's the fact that it labels itself as
a marketing firm. What they're
selling involved Executive
Success Programs that are
regularly attended by celebrities
and those who have attended
them claim they are
brainwashing sessions.
Mack and the NXIVM founder
Keith Raniere were recently
caught, tried, and sentenced,
hopefully ending their reign of
terror.
Church of the
Most High Godess
If you're noticing a pattern that
involves money tied to cults that
have performed acts of sexual
abuse to their members, you're
not alone. The Church of the
Highest Goddess was a cult that
wasn't even trying to hide it.
Founders Mary Ellen Tracy and
Wilbur Tracy claimed that Mary
Ellen was an Egyptian priestess.
Her goal was to "cleanse" as
many followers as she possibly
could by having sex with them.
Of course, people would have to
pay for the right.
She had sex with over 1,000
men during the cult's run. Then,
LAPD shut down the cult citing
prostitution and sex trafficking.
Raelianism
Some cults are pretty transparent
about what they're really all about,
and this is definitely one of those.
Raelianism was started by a
Frenchman named "Rael," who was a
race car driver and singer prior to
founding his religion.
This cult made the news when they
claimed to clone a human baby
named "Eve," but there is so much
more to this cult that still hasn't
become common knowledge.
One of the more striking aspects of
the cult is that Rael has a personal
harem called the Order of Angels
who do nothing but sleep with him
at his command. So far, pretty par for
the course as far as cults go, one
might suppose.
He also has an actual clique of
female sex workers who go by "Rael's
Girls." The girls are legit sex workers
who give earned money to Rael.
There have also been some rumours
about sexual abuse happening to
members.
Whether or not this is one of the cults
that have performed acts of sexual
abuse is technically up to debate.
However, if you think about how
messed up it is that Rael
brainwashed women into sleeping
with him, it's pretty clear something's
going wrong there.
Fundamentalist
Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day
Saints (FLDS)
Few cults that performed acts of
sexual abuse have been fewer were
as dangerous in terms of sexual
abuse. The most shocking stories of
cults that committed crimes are
epitomized when thinking about
what FLDS does regularly.
