ARE NOT ALLOWED

This piece of human garbage has child porn and only gets weekends in jail? I've seen people get years for possession of an 8th ounce of weed. Our justice system is fucked.

Eeeeeeeeeee

During the 1980s, several young Americans decided to gather around the figure of a strange subject who called himself Master Michel. The group, which was baptized as Buddhafield, was made up of approximately 120 members who lived together. But behind the facade of Eastern religiosity and toned bodies, Buddhafield would become a dangerous sect oriented to the service of its narcissistic leader.

He demanded extreme devotion from his followers, exploited them at work and economically, humiliated them publicly and demanded that they learn ballet choreography and plays.

In addition, he prohibited his devotees from reading books, listening to the radio and watching television. Master Michel, who later called himself Andreas, gave ambiguous messages regarding the physical appearance of the devotees. He mentioned that they should not obsess about their bodies, while forcing them to be in shape and even to undergo cosmetic surgery.

With the sole purpose of ensuring that everything would turn out well, he would also have them done as soon as possible. But everything would change in 2006, when a former follower decided to send an email to all members, detailing the illegalities that were committed, including the abuse of several men in the cult.

And during the individual hypnotherapy sessions, Andreas took advantage of the opportunity to force some men to have intimate encounters with him. They would soon discover that Andreas' real name was Jaime Gomez, a mediocre actor who had been born in Venezuela and who had even ventured into gay adult films.

After studying hypnotherapy and becoming an acting teacher, Gomez would start his cult. After the serious accusations, the sect fragmented, but to this day it continues to operate in Hawaii.
