Polygamist Israeli cult leader charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, rape, sodomy and enslavement against his wives and children
Goel Ratzon
This is one of the most horrendous cases of abuse of a polygamist. Please read the extracts in bold:
QUOTE Polygamist Goel Ratzon was charged Sunday with dozens of sex offenses, including rape, sodomy, and indecent assault. His victims were said to include minors. He was also accused of fraud and treating his wives like slaves.
Ratzon, who had lived with 32 women and dozens of children, was arrested last month in a wide-scale police operation. His son, Yigal Ratzon, arrived at the court Sunday and continued to insist that his father was innocent.
The State asked the court to place a gag order on the investigation, saying that it includes "intimate, sensitive and shameful details, which have the power of humiliating any person." One of the reasons for the request, the State Prosecutor's Office explained, was the "fragile mental state of the women", who are defined as "victims of a difficult trauma of many years of slavery."
According to the indictment, Ratzon created "a status of an omnipotent with healing, destruction and cursing capabilities", through which he possesses full control of his wives' lives, desires, thoughts and performance.
Many of the indictment clauses refer to the sex offenses allegedly committed by Ratzon. One describes a 19-year-old girl who was raped by Ratzon from the age of 15 to 17 on a nearly daily basis. He is also accused of indecent assault of another girl, by caressing her sexual organs and kissing her while pushing his tongue into her mouth.
He is also accused of raping and sexually harassing a girl whose mother died when she was a baby. According to the indictment, he distanced the girl from her family and promised to marry her. He convinced her that he had supernatural powers and ignored her request to stop kissing and caressing her.
Several days later, he took a shower with the girl and raped her. When she complained that it hurt, he responded, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." In another incident, he performed oral sex on the girl and raped her again.

QUOTE In one case, police raided a three-bedroom apartment where 10 women and 17 children were found living in "horrible conditions".

His "rules"
Source 8
These women were living in tiny little apartments, worked cleaning houses and ALL the money they had was given to him to buy him properties, going to trips, etc. If he was displeased with something they have said or done, they burn or cut themselves. The police planned the whole thing very carefully because he has insisted in the past that if he was caught, they should all commit mass suicide.
