Oprah Winfrey’s spiritual healer has been sentenced to 99 years in prison after being found guilty of raping and abusing over 600 women and young girls.
João de Deus or “John of God,” also ran a baby trafficking operation where newborn children were sold to childless couples.
Young girls were reportedly held captive in remote Brazilian “farms”, where they were forced to produce babies—before being murdered after 10 years of giving birth.
One activist whose investigations led to John’s arrest said she spoke to women from Europe, the USA, and Australia who bought Brazilian babies for as much as $50,000.
Among John’s other celebrity fans are former president Bill Clinton, actress Shirley MacLaine, model Naomi Campbell, and former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
