DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Opening statements are scheduled to begin Thursday in a DeKalb County courtroom as Eligio Bishop, called Nature Boy by his followers, goes to trial.
Jury selection finished Wednesday. Bishop was arrested and charged in 2022, after a woman and former follower alleged he had raped her and tried to prevent her from leaving in March of that year.
Previous coverage from Channel 2 Action News reported that police had him under investigation for several weeks before bringing charges against him.
