Cult leader gets 26 years in prison for horrific abuses of his 6 wives

The man, whose name is under court gag order, has been convicted on 18 counts involving rape, sexual abuse, humiliation, electrocution, imprisonment and starvation of his six wives and 17 children . According to his Judges, He grotesquely exploited principles of loyalty.

"Three Jerusalem District Court Judges on Thursday sentenced a cult leader with six wives and dozens of children to 26 years in prison on 18 counts of sexual offenses, including rape, sodomy, indecent sexual acts, violence, imprisonment in slave-like conditions and abuse of women and children. The court also ordered the man, identified only as D., to provide his victims with compensation of 100,000 shekels each.The judges also sentenced D.'s assistant to six years in prison, after he was convicted on three charges involving indecent acts and rape, because he participated in the acts of punishing the victims. However, the judges said the assistant never made his own decisions and essentially stood at the beck and call of D. and his fanatical whims."


"D. presided over a humiliating system of punishment that he referred to as "judgment," during which he would punish his wives and children for "impermissible thoughts" by raping them or perpetrating other sexual offenses against them, electrocuting them with a stun gun, whipping them with an electric cable, imprisoning them nude in utility closets, forcibly separating the women from their children and starving them. He ordered one of his wives to dress like a prostitute and stand in the street next to prostitutes. He also engaged in group sex, in which one of his step-daughters took part."

try again sherri habibity------everyone knows who it is ------Israel has laws which allow
all sorts of players to keep names confidential -----his victims probably demanded
it. the cult members were idiot volunteers on the level of KORESH nuts

Fellow posters-----do not provide sherri with the name of the psycho-path---doing
so is a bit of a violation of the rights of his idiot followers---an ethical breach --- I
doubt that 'whatshisname' will live out his sentence-----he ain't gonna
reach......well ----never mind----lets say 120. Its gonna be fun ----to see if his
idiot victims will visit him in jail-----but then again -----that info may not
make it to the news

Five of his wives stand by his side, only one testified against him, the article states.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

More about the mind control the convicted man asserted over his wives and children:

"The court found that D. completely controlled the lives of his wives and children, whom he sent to beg for money and to disseminate his religious doctrine from morning to night, all while imposing a brutal regime of punishments based on his unpredictable whims. According to the conviction, he erased their personalities and warped their minds. Throughout the years his wives tried, according to his demands, to find more "candidates" to join the "family," often as a way to ease a punishment against one of them...The accused caused his wives to believe that their behavior and thoughts were hurtful not only to him but also to the salvation of Israel, and in accordance with this he caused them to have deep feelings of guilt and self-loathing which they could only atone for by confessing before him and through suitable punishment which he himself determined and oversaw."

Yeah SO? what else is new?-----this is a very old case----the man has been in jail for
years His insanity and that of his "DEVOTEES" is not all that unusual in the world
of psychosis. I am sure even an uneducated lawyer like you has heard of the
concept of FOLIE A DEUX -----it does not take a psychiatrist to know this stuff----
this stuff is known to anyone who so much as passed high school. I have really bad news
for you----his mentally disturbed wives were not LOCKED UP-----they were volunteers---
the whole cult thing tumbled beause insanity is not hereditary-----his kids gave him away.

His sentence is------actually a LIFE SENTENCE----he is not going to outlive it . Hopefully,
his DEVOTEE "wives" will get the medical attention they need. Israel has
PERSONAL RIGHT laws for patients that are just as strict as our own------no matter how
NUTS they are-------they still MUST POSE A DANGER TO THEIR OWN LIVES OR THE
LIVES OF OTHERS to be comitted The kids have been out of that situation for
years too.

Cult leaders typically seem to be men and they usually seem to have multiple, loyal, brainwashed, abused wives at heel - and not infrequently, they are underaged. Very sad. Glad he was brought to justice

Interesting people with their interesting life style : )

Here is an article from 2011, addressing this mans arrest in 2011 Along with 8 others

Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Cult leader arrested in Israel for physical and sexual abuse of women and children members of cult

Nine members of a Jerusalem ultra-Orthodox Hasidic sect in the Tiberias area, who have long been under suspicion of abusing women and children members of the cult were arrested by a combined team of the Social Services Ministry workers, the Police and officers of the Jerusalem municipality.Under cover investigation of theBrastlav Hasidic*group began, after a former member of the cult, who had been the seventh wife of the cult leader, lodged complaint with the Jerusalem Police, urging them to investigate abuse in the group. The investigations led to the arrest of the suspected leader of the cult, a man reported to be unofficially married to six women with children, most of them divorcees. Also arrested were two other men believed to be assistants of the cult leader. The men are alleged to have* physically and sexually abused the women and children.* The children, numbering about 15, according to reports, were employed in child labor activities which involved dancing around street corners to collect money from passers-by.

Cult leaders all share one trait, and that is there ability to reel in and brainwash weak, feeble minded people.

The first person that comes to my mind is David Koresh

Life sentence.

Nothing less

 

[JakeStarkey]

Good, whether Jewish or Islamic or Christian, such abuse, including 'honor' killings, deserve harsh punishment.

I honestly don't like women who accept marriages like these....even when Arabs do it. With the exception of the past...this was common among tribes in the middle eastern region. But, today it just doesn't seem right.

This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever read. WTF? Six of them can't get together and work him over? Sheesh. I had a patient once, a double amputee, whose wife kept calling in and saying he was beating her up. WTF? He was in a wheelchair. I told her I really thought she could outrun him. (I didn't say 'stupid' but I wanted to.)

Completely agree. I don't see how there can ever be a positive outcome in the end with these marriages

This is a situation where women have been brainwashed, one of the articles says the women he married were mostly divorcees, I do not think it is a traditional marriage in any religion. And I think the story was uncovered when a stepdaughter was reporting sexual abuse to third parties.

Traditional marriages in religions are like Caleb's daughter marrying her first cousin, a story I was just reading in my bible study, from the Book of Judges in The Old Testament. Judges 1:11-14

Still today, marriages between first cousins are accepted in many countries in the Middle East, and there are still arranged marriages. Are they always bad? Well, I know a couple in California who are first cousins and have been happily married for decades now. His father and her mother are brother and sister. It would be hard to find a couple that seemed more suited to each other then they are.

Artful manipulations is what thos kind of men are good at.

We don't know if the women accepted it willingly pr what they were forced to do
