A man has been found guilty of leading a "satanic" sex cult from his home in a small Welsh town. Colin Batley, 48, of Kidwelly, west Wales, presided over a group that preyed on young children and held occult rites.
He was found guilty at Swansea crown court of rape and carrying out perverted sexual acts on children and adults.
Batley was the self-styled high priest of the group, which operated from a series of homes in a cul-de-sac in the seaside town.
He and five other alleged members insisted throughout the five-week trial that no cult had ever existed. But the jury dismissed that, finding him guilty of more than two dozen acts of sexual perversion linked to his activities in the cult.

There’s a headline one doesn’t see every day.
“Satanic” versus???
Well the article didn’t really give much insight about the evidence against the “cult” members so I’m a bit skeptical about the whole thing. I’ve seen too many people in the US screwed by the “justice” system and “satanic cults raping children” hysteria to just believe these kinds of charges any more. I strongly suspect that these guys may be the victim of an out of control prosecutor rather than the perpetrator of these “crimes”.
Was it rape rape or satanic rape?
Satanic satanic rape rape?
Impossible. Mohammed’s been dead for centuries!
Alan Alda?!!
Since this is Britain he’s facing a real serious penalty. Probably two weekends of community service and 50quid fine!
"...had sex with more than 3,000 clients over a two-year period" (more details on this case including victim claims in this Daily Mail article)
While imprisoned, he will only be able to eat British cooking.
I wonder what sort of sentence he’ll get. Sometimes it seems like the Euroweenies aren’t very serious about this. I bet its less than 20 years.
What’s with the Egyptian tattoo theme?
But..they appear to be so normal.
Satan’s summer home was in Egypt.
2 lines out of fox news article -
Batley wore a hooded robe and read passages from occultist Aleister Crowley’s “The Book of the Law” before attacking the youngsters at his home
The convicted cult members — who all had identical tattoos of the Egyptian Eye of Horus — were due to be sentenced Friday.

The 48-year-old self-styled high priest would begin the sordid rituals by reading from The Book Of The Law, written more than a century ago by occultist Aleister Crowley.
The readings were used as a form of brainwashing and Batley would then order hooded cult members to have sex, ensuring it was filmed.
He bred rottweilers from his home to earn money but kept two for personal safety, which were named after ancient Egyptian royalty.
Batley also bred cats, which were given occult names, before his arrest in summer last year.
Somehow, I thought this headline might attract more interest.
Sounds like a lovely bunch of coconuts doesn’t it?
