Alleged Georgia sex cult leader Eligio Bishop to serve life for rape
Published By admin with Comments 0
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. – The leader of an alleged cult accused of rape learned his fate Friday afternoon.
A jury found Eligio Bishop guilty on all counts, including rape, false imprisonment, and charges related to revenge porn.
Bishop, who also goes by “Natureboy” and “3God,” is the leader of Carbon Nation, which authorities characterize as a sex cult. Prosecutors say he raped a former group member as she tried to escape and then posted revenge porn online.
The trial gave an inside look into the operations of Carbon Nation and how Bishop and his followers used social media to promote their holistic lifestyle and teachings.
Prosecutors asked for the maximum sentence, while the defense argued that he should be given life with parole based upon his bad childhood and his lack of priors.
“I would have been inclined to exercise some discretion if Mr. Bishop showed any remorse, guilt, or regret throughout this process. And I saw nothing during the trial, but him laughing, cutting it up, and looking shocked and surprised at all of the testimony,” said Judge Hydrick. “Mr. Bishop, you are a master manipulator and probably the classic definition of a narcissist that I have ever seen.”
