“539 individuals were identified as perpetrators of alleged abuse”
Disgusting. I don’t understand how everyone everywhere doesn’t view cults as just a means to commit sexual abuse. Seems to be what most of them are about.

Hard to believe that a weird religious cult would abuse children.

I remember their buses turning up in my hometown’s big park about once a year.
My parents always regarded them as being very weird and culty. I never got close enough (as in, not within about 500m) to find out.
Rape and sexual assault is so frequently about controlling others, so it’s not really a surprise that highly controlling religious sects attract leaders that want to control others, and do so in more than one way.

They were all over the town growing up. Preying on the vulnerable.

And now I can only read that to the tune of Voodoo people by The Prodigy. Thanks, brain.
