Oprah Winfrey and New Age icons billed Joao de Deus (John of God) as the world's greatest psychic healer. He is now recognized as the worst serial rapist in Brazilian history. Joao claimed to be possessed by dead doctors-performing "surgeries" with actual incisions requiring stitches. But backstage at his spiritual hospital, a secret world was hidden from the public, where black magic masqueraded as healing and charity. Blood sacrifice posed as surgery.Joao's history journeys through Brazilian trance cults and clandestine torture camps during the military dictatorship. It zigzags into Indian genocide and a lifetime of illegal gold mining. Murder for hire, incest, and human trafficking are strewn along its path.His reputation as a healer eventually attracted tens of thousands of visitors a month to his center, including many politicians and celebrities. His promoters hailed him as a selfless saint who did this work for free-a poor farmer. That man was a multi-millionaire. In 2018, at the pinnacle of his fame, his house of cards collapsed.Nearly 800 women have accused him of rape committed inside his healing center during the past forty years-under the guise of spiritual healing. This has resulted in 489 years of prison sentences. He is currently under house arrest in his mansion with his new wife, who is thirty years his junior. Michael Bailot was a guide and spirit medium at Joao's center. He was featured in the Netflix series John of God: The Crimes of a Spiritual Healer. His research unveils a psychopath posing as a saint. This is the first English expose of John of God.
