Miguel Antonio Garcia Garro of Coon Rapids billed himself as "The Maestro," the man who could help a struggling teenage couple smooth out their rocky relationship with the girl's father. But after conducting a Tarot card reading with the couple in his Minneapolis office, authorities say, the man charged them $750 for more "help" — then told them to have sex on his desk and apparently videotaped the whole thing. That's the story as laid out in a criminal complaint filed Monday in Hennepin County District Court. The couple, a 16-year-old girl and her 19-year-old boyfriend, told police they answered an ad in a Spanish language newspaper touting services by "maestros espirituales," or spiritual teachers, the complaint said.

I wonder if this smoothed out her relationship with her father?

[Kirkwood]

The Maestro? Does he resemble this guy?

Baloney. The deck was stacked against them.

The Maestro? Does he resemble this guy?

Yes, and the couple should have suspected something when he got out from behind the desk and he wasn't wearing pants.

[Mark was here]

What was the crime again?

At least he did not ask her to lay an egg, only her boyfriend.

Where does a couple that young get $750?

On the second visit, he told them to strip down to their underwear and wipe their bodies with napkins soaked in "holy water" that he poured into a wine glass. He took the napkins and wrapped them in aluminum foil so that he could examine the energy levels, the complaint said.

The many uses of foil.

[colorado tanker]

Did he give them any "pointers"?

"Ain't multi-culturalism grand???? "

Tarot cards go back to 15th Century Europe, Italy no less, the home of the Roman Catholic Church, what other culture are you referring to?
