About this episode
In the sixth episode of Season 5, your host JD Horror brings you the tragic story of the Children of God / The Family International. A bizarre sex cult led by a perverted pastor named David Berg who ruled his subjects with an iron fist covered in a velvet glove. They would ruin the lives on many through their indoctrination, sexual abuse, and torture of children. One in particular was Berg's own adopted son, Ricky Rodriguez aka Davidito, who Berg thought to be his successor and a second coming... but Ricky had other ideas and set off on a quest for blood and vengeance.
