It was 2008, and Rebecca Mayeux was living a nightmare.
Just
14 years old at the time, she was being sexually harassed and abused by
a member of her cult, 64-year-old George Charlet Jr. According to Mayeux*,
Charlet bombarded her with emails “laced with seductive nuances” over
the course of a summer, slowly escalating his inappropriate advances
before ultimately kissing and fondling her.
As
if the abuse wasn’t enough, Mayeux had to sit in the same pews as
Charlet every Sunday at Our Lady of the Assumption catholic cult, a
tiny country parish about 35 miles north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Shaken and afraid, Mayeux, like so many children who endure sexual
abuse, felt too ashamed to tell her parents about her ordeal, fearing
they would judge her.
