Canadian spiritual leader John de Ruiter has reportedly been released on bail in a case accusing him of sexually assaulting four women.

De Ruiter, 63, leader of an Edmonton-based spiritual group College of Integrated Philosophy – or Oasis Group – was arrested Jan. 21 for allegedly engaging in sex acts with four female group members between 2017 and 2020, according to Canadian broadcaster CBC.

“It was reported that the accused informed certain female group members that he was directed by a spirit to engage in sexual activity with them, and that engaging in sexual activity with him will provide them an opportunity to achieve a state of higher being or spiritual enlightenment,”

De Ruiter is the self-appointed leader of the nearly 20-year-old group that has over 300 members.

"Will you take me to the dance, will you take me to the dance?", said the fair young maiden.

"Well, the h*ll with the dance, and off with your pants", said John de Ruiter the horndog.

Let me guess: The "certain female group members" in question were all young and pretty!

Assuming the women were of legal age, what law did he break? Doesn’t sound like he raped them.
