SEOUL – Six women have accused a South Korean cult founder of sexual abuse, with more expected to follow suit, as awareness about his wrongful acts grew after the recent release of a Netflix documentary.
The eight-part series, titled In The Name Of God: A Holy Betrayal, exposes the controversial behaviour of four cult leaders claiming to be prophets, and the dark side of unquestioning belief. It began streaming on March 3.
