Child Rape & Satanic ’Seances’, Among Accusations for Occultic Group of Eleven Charged in Sex Ring

GLASGOW, SCOTLAND — Seven men and four women participated in a child sex abuse ring involving witchcraft, Ouija boards, and the killing of animals, prosecutors alleged in court.

The eleven-person group molested, raped, abused, filmed, and photographed two girls and a boy, who were all underage, revealed in an indictment, reports the Daily Mail.

Between January 2010 and March 2020, the abuse and illicit activity occurred. The precise details of the alleged satanic nature of the abuse have yet to be revealed. 

The accused are: Iain Owens, 43, Elaine Lannery, 38, Lesley Williams, 40, Paul Brannan, 40, Marianne Gallagher, 37, Scott Forbes, 49, Barry Watson, 46, Mark Carr, 49, Richard Gachagan, 44, Leona Laing, 50, and John Clark, 46.

Owens and Lannery, both of Thornliebank Scottland, neglected the three children, along with another child. 

The suspects face 43 different charges, listed in a 14-page indictment, revealed in a hearing at the High Court in the Townhead, Maryhill, and Craigend areas of Glasgow. 

The gruesome facts that were presented to the court are as follows. 

• One of the girls was forced into a microwave in an attempted act of murder on the part of her abusers. She was also held in a refrigerator and an oven.
• Animals were killed, and satanic “seances” were performed. 
• Cloaks and devil horns were worn by the eleven-person group of seven men and four women during some of the acts of abuse. 
• An Ouija board was used to call on spirits and demons, which was a feature of the ring’s activities. 
• The young boy was made to stab a budgie bird to death. 
• All of the children were forced to take part in satanic “seances” that involved the killing of animals, including dogs. 
• All three of the children were raped at different times, while the group “clap, clear and verbally encourage”. 
• A ten-year-old girl was filmed being sexually assaulted. 
• The young boy allegedly was made to “courier controlled drugs” for his eleven captures. 
• Five of the accused allegedly assaulted the young boy, including when the boy was put in a bath, he was told, was filled with blood. 
• From December 2015 to June 2019, four of the accused allegedly attempted to murder the younger of the two girls, beginning when she was only weeks old.
• The youngest girl was also hung from a nail on the wall via her jumper.
• The same girl was also made to “act like a dog” and eat pet food, in addition to being chased while wearing a devil mask. 
• One of the girls was threatened with being trafficked to a Turkish male by two of the accused. 
• One of the accused, Owens, faces more charges than he raped the older girl, along with four others who face indecency accusations. 
• Owens and another woman, Lannery, were accused of sex abuse involving the boy and the younger girl. 
• Other allegations state that all eleven were involved in the rape of the older girl, at various times, wherein four of the accused “cheered” during the assault. 
• Owens and Lannery were accused of having sex in front of children. 
• Owens and Brannon were accused of raping the boy. 
• Lannery and Williams were accused of forcing the boy to watch a video of one of the girls being attacked. 
• Lannery is charged with molesting the younger girl before Owens, Williams, and Brannan raped her, with the girl being held down in a cot by all eleven at one point. While this was happening, the women were accused of clapping and cheering while the boy and the older girl, who filmed what happened, were shut in a room. 

Owens and Lannery face additional charges of “attempting to defeat the ends of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice,” hanging up the phone the older girl used to call the police and disposing items to avoid prosecution. 

Five others were named in the indictment but are said to be deceased. 

Judge Lord Beckett scheduled an eight-week trial for September 2023, in addition to a hearing set for October.

No evidence of the group having connections with high-profile officials has surfaced.
