A former security guard who led a cult from a cul-de-sac in a Welsh seaside town was told he might spend life in jail for committing a series of sex attacks on boys and girls.

Colin Batley of Kidwelly, west Wales, presided over a quasi-religious sex cult that preyed on vulnerable youngsters, forced women into prostitution and indulged in occult rites.

Batley was given an indeterminate sentence for public protection with a recommendation that he spend at least 11 years in jail. Sentencing him at Swansea crown court, Judge Paul Thomas QC told him: "You may never be released."

The judge said Batley, 48, had "besmirched the unsuspecting town of Kidwelly" after moving there from London.

"You formed a community within a community, you were described as evil. That, in my view, is an entirely accurate statement of your character.

"It is likely that you have dedicated your life since you were 12 years old to satisfying your sexual urges by whatever means at your disposal."

Jacqueline Marling, 42 -- described as "Batley's right-hand woman" -- was jailed for 12 years for her part in the group's crimes.

The cult leader's estranged wife, Elaine Batley, 47, was jailed for eight years. And Shelly Millar, 35 -- described during the trial as Batley's sex slave -- was jailed for five years.

The cult is said to have been inspired by Aleister Crowley, the late mystic and magician nicknamed the Great Beast who in 1904 published a text called the Book of the Law extolling permissive sex.

  • Crowly is no doudt a insane man, and the only reason that you young oulct types love him is that you this what to rebell against you parents.

    by the way Esoteric do you agree that we should question god like all athorty or we this do what everything what god told us to do, included killing our childern like some people had claim

  • @abarrathemaster I agree with you, I noticed a lot of the younger "rebel" types are fans of Crowley.. I never was big into Crowley, and recently as I've taken up Vaishnavism I see that he's actually ass-backwards about a lot lot lot of things... Namely unrestricted sense gratification and complete lack of venerating Godhead/Bhagavan.

    I think that if you want to know God you can't look to the west but have to look to the East to know Him, their timeless view of God makes much much more sense.

  • @abarrathemaster In the Bible God tells Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, just to teach him a lesson, which is also parallel to the stories in the Bhagavad Gita where God tells Arjuna to kill his brothers and teachers and friends in battle because they are arrayed against him on the side of unrighteousness. The Bhagavad Gita goes more into the philosophy behind this though it shows that we are not this bodily designation, and the soul cannot be killed, and we must do our duty and fight for righteousns

  • Hey Bro, cool video. Say, can you tell me why Prabhupada said that the doctrine stating that 'Jesus Christ has paid for our sins' is a very bad doctrine, and if you agree, thanks, God Bless You

  • @icoson Yes I believe it's a bad doctrine if it makes you think that someone has scapegoated your sins and all you need to do is to believe in that person and have faith and you will go to Heaven. This is an invention of St. Paul, putting faith before works of the law, and has nothing to do with Christ's teachings. Jesus wanted us to follow ALL of his teachings, and this implies a type of mysticism in devotion and "Tantric Bhakti".. to attain real vision of Personal God and real faith in Him.

  • Animal sacrifice is a basic constituent of many religions, including Judaism and Vodun. However, animal sacrifice is not really important in Thelema. Many of these Crowley cults are following the legend of Aleister Crowley that was promulgated by the British tabloid press. If you wish to understand the inner meaning of the Book of the Law, read my book, The Secret Wisdom of 666. (Love the animation!)

  • Crowley was dark ? Understatement of history its self. I guess you missed the bit about him wanting to be the devils right hand man ?

  • ''Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law'' This bloke is talking shite. He obviously hasn't read The Book Of The Law and doesn't understand it. If perverts want to go molesting kids they cannot blame a single individual for their actions. People calling themselves christians have caused more death and suffering on this planet that any other group. Even now people are fighting wars in the name of christianity, priests are abusing kids in catholic churches. Stop blaming Crowley!!!

  • thanks for exposing Crowley and the OTO

    too many seekers searching for esoteric knowledge get misled by his teachings when they could benefit from the far superior teachings of the Vedas

    just compare the fruits of Crowley to Prabhupada....
