A 29-year-old woman who escaped a sex cult when she was only 13, after allegedly being forced to have sex with assorted “uncles,” is sharing her horrific story so other victims will go public.
In 2001, Dawn Watson escaped from The Children of God, now known as Family International, which was founded in Huntington, California by David Brant Berg in 1968. In the four years after its founding, the reported cult reached 130 other communities by 1972, including Brazil, where Watson grew up. Watson alleges that not only was polygamy common in the cult, but also pedophilia, which was treated as a religious rite.
