CHRISTINA was just a baby when her own mum joined the Children of God cult where she was subjected to sexual abuse and violence for two decades
A WOMAN who was forced to sleep with a married couple when she was just 11 years old has spoken out about her abuse at the hands of the Children of God cult.
The cult was a warped world created in 1968 by paedophile David Brandt Berg, and was centred on prostitution, violence and exorcism.
The global cult merged traditional Christian beliefs with communal living, and sexual contact was allowed with children from around the age of 11 or 12 — the same age Berg had se* with his own daughter.
Christina Babin, now a mother-of-four, has finally spoken out about the horrific abuse she suffered by members of the brainwashed cult during childhood.
The terrifying experience with the married couple was Christina’s grim introduction to se* in a cult that considered it normal for a child to sleep with an adult.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, she said that when the assault was over, she was relieved but felt overwhelming guilt that she did not like it — explaining that children were controlled and coerced into believing se* was a good thing they were meant to enjoy. with a married couple
The 43-year-old claims that while the world saw the former pastor’s followers express their faith through intense religious chants, behind closed doors it was a much more sinister affair.
She also described how she and her siblings were sent out begging, giving children within the commune precious glimpses of life in the outside world.
Christina was a baby and her brother was aged just two when their naive mother took off with them and their six siblings after being drawn to the cult’s lifestyle.
Each commune was home to between three and 20 families at a time and they were regularly separated and shuffled around the world.
Around that time, women and girls over 10 were encouraged to lure men into the cult with se* in a technique called “flirty fishing”.
Christina’s described her earliest memory as life on a commune in Jamaica, where she would watch local children with envy as they “ran, laughed and looked free”.
When she was just 12 years old, she and her older brother were sent to Japan for a month-long camp — but without their mum.
The month soon became two years away.
During that time, Christina was forced to read the bible for hours, repeatedly pledge allegiance to the cult and put through punishing exercise regimes.
She was sent to several communes and was raped twice.
“We were isolated from the wider world but told they were the ones living the wrong lives — that our way was the right way,” she said.
A few years later, aged 15, Christina was moved on yet again.
