Prosecutors have brought their first charges against self-proclaimed “spiritual healer” Joao Teixeira de Faria amid sexual abuse allegations by hundreds of women and girls, including his own daughter.
After being officially declared a fugitive of the law Saturday, and reportedly attempting to withdraw nearly $9 million from the bank, Faria turned himself into authorities on Sunday. Five days later, prosecutors leveled their first charges against him.
