In the United States, the head of the Mexican church Light of the World was arrested for raping minors and 25 other charges. Naason Joaquin Garcia was arrested when he got off the plane in Los Angeles on Monday, it was reported on Wednesday (June 5th). Two other members of the organization have been arrested and a third is wanted by the police.
Rape, dissemination of child pornography, trafficking in human beings, these are some of the charges that weigh on Naason Joaquin Garcia and his accomplices.
No less than 26 crimes or misdemeanors that were committed between 2015 and 2018, according to California Attorney Xavier Becerra. The indictment explains that the girls were among other things forced to dance " very naked " before the guru. Four of them were raped.
To force them to submit to the exactions of Garcia, his accomplices explained to them that to go " against the will of the apostle is to go against the will of God ". Object of suspicion and controversy for many years, the organization "Light of the world" calls itself a Christian church primitivist, as are Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.
A sect present in 54 countries
Founded in 1926 in Mexico, it is now present in 54 countries on several continents. Its main temple in Guadalajara, a gigantic building in the shape of a pyramid, can accommodate up to 12,000 faithful. Many of these worshipers were praying and crying Tuesday night around the building after the announcement of the arrest of Naason Joaquin Garcia.
It is thanks to a site made available to victims of pedophile priests by the California Department of Justice that the investigation was successful.
