A 48-yr-old voodoo priest, Brogenet Cinor has been arrested and charged with the rape of an 11-year-old girl.
The Sunrise Police in Florida say they believe that Cinor used his power of persuasion to sexually manipulate women and are calling for more victims to step forward.
"He was using the victims' belief in voodoo and curses," Sunrise Police Officer Cindi McCue told the Sun-Sentinel. "They believed they could die if they didn't follow his instructions."
NY Daily News reports that Cinor allegedly sexually abused the girl, who is now 16, in a backyard shed in an attempt to cleanse the evil that lived inside her when her mother brought the girl for a spiritual reading, police said.
The bad witch doctor reportedly threatened and coerced other women into sexual relationships, too. Police are investigating incidents with two other victims, the Sentinel reported.
"The family, the mother and this child fully well believe in the power of voodoo, and she believed that she could be harmed or die as a result of not going forth with the cleansing," McCue told WPLG.
It was gathered that Cinor was released on $75,000 bond after his June 19 arrest on one count of sexual battery on a child less than 12 years of age.
A neighbor said he's heard Cinor chanting in the back yard, but ignored it.
"It was just chanting, like whatever chants they did, and I would hear popping things, like those little white things that you throw on the ground and pop," Garfield Spence told WPLG. "It sounded like that, but I let it go."
