Rape And Enslavement: Cult Leader Arrested
Goel Ratzon Charged with Sexual Abuse and Harassment, Rape and Enslavement



An Israeli man is under arrest in Tel Aviv, charged with leading a cult in which he kept least 17 women in a state of near-total obedience, and had at least 37 children with them, according to Israeli Police.

Goel Ratzon, a self-styled sage, is being held after charges of sexual abuse and harassment, rape and enslavement were brought against him in a Tel Aviv court of justice.

Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tells ABC News officers simultaneously descended on the four apartments in south Tel Aviv where Ratzon and his followers lived.

Most of the 17 women who were held for questioning by the police have been released, although some of them are still talking to investigators.

3. here's a short list of Ratzon's "house rules"
Goel Ratzon maintained tight control over every aspect of life in his housing complexes. He distributed a rule book to the women in which he laid out his laws and the financial penalties that would result from any transgressions. Below are a few of the rules.

• Any woman who speaks in a pretentious manner to another woman will be fined NIS 2,000

• No woman will ask Ratzon where he is going and what he is doing. A violation of this law will result in NIS 200.

• Idle chatter is strictly forbidden, and conversations between women can only take place in the living room. This law carries an NIS 2,000 penalty.

• Arguments between women will result in each party to the dispute being fined NIS 2,000.

• Laziness and sitting around the house will be met with an NIS 200 fine.

• No woman may ask another woman where she is going, unless it is to ask for groceries. A violation of this law will result in an NIS 200 fine.
