DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. – After three full days of testimony, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office rested its case Monday night in the rape trial of an accused cult leader.
Prosecutors accused Eligio Bishop of assaulting a woman who tried to leave his group Carbon Nation.
On Monday, prosecutors played his interview with police, and jurors heard from a woman who claimed she was also raped by him.
“The door was closed, and then he came onto me,” a former member of the alleged cult Carbon Nation testified Monday.
The woman, who we are not identifying, did not hold back. She said Bishop, the group’s alleged leader, sexually assaulted her.
“He made one of his wives leave the room, and from there it led to him raping me,” she said.
