'Minister investigated for naked rituals with followers' (Chicago Tribune)
In a small house overlooking a lake in Wauconda, a minister directed his female followers to go into a back room and take off their clothes.
In one-on-one sessions, he got naked, touched their bodies and told them to touch his.
He called them prayer sessions.
What allegedly happened in that room over a series of months would spur a criminal investigation in one county, spark civil litigation in two others and reopen the age-old debate on what’s a cult.
