The Truth About the Accused Rapist’s and the Convicted Felon’s 60-Year Love-Hate Relationship
A case study investigating the lived experience of men who were abused in coercively controlling cultic environments
The purpose of this study is to deepen understanding of the experiences of men who have been abused in a coercively controlling cult environment given that much of the current research has focused on the experiences of women. This study may lead to criteria for services that may be used to help male victims of cultic groups and other abusive experiences including sexual assault. It may further have broader implications for understanding and preventing the exploitation of male survivors of coercive control in trafficking, gangs, and domestic relationships.
Criteria to participate in this study:
• Male
• 18 years or older
• Participants must have spent time in a cult and experienced abuse within that environment.
• Participants must have been out of the cult for a minimum of six months.
Participants will be asked to do the following:
• Fill out a demographic questionnaire.
• Participate in a 60–90-minute online interview regarding their experiences during their time in the cult.

"Rabbi Menachem Yaveh, 51, was arrested this week on suspicion of leading a cult in Jerusalem and sexually abusing boys who were part of the cult. Yaveh is a student of Rabbi Eliezer Berland and father of 17 children. At least four of Yaveh's former students filed police complaints against him."
Epoch’s film unit is planning a nationwide theatrical rollout for “The Firing Squad,” a Christian-themed prison drama starring Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr.
"In recent years, The Epoch Times has amassed a large audience as a publisher of right-wing news articles and peddler of baseless election conspiracies. This summer, the conservative media company is hoping to conquer new territory: Hollywood.
Epoch Studios, a branch of the wider Epoch Times Association, plans to release “The Firing Squad,” a drama starring Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. as drug smugglers who find God behind bars."
" ... The creation of Epoch Studios has caught the attention of those who have closely watched the New York-based media company’s ascent from a fringe print newspaper startup formed in 2000 by followers of Falun Gong, a religious group persecuted in China, into a prominent conservative outlet with content amplifying Donald Trump’s conspiracies and right-wing messaging."
