COURTHOUSE,
Oct 10 – Back on September 10,
DOJ charged NAASÓN JOAQUÍN
GARCÍA and others with
"sexual, financial, and
related criminal conduct
victimizing members of the La
Luz del Mundo Church over many
years... to facilitate
the systemic sexual abuse of
children and women—including
the creation of photos and
videos of sadistic child
sexual abuse."
Garcia was
taken into Federal custody in
California and transported to
New York on September 18. On
September 23, with two
California-based lawyers next
to him, Garcia was brought
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Loretta A. Preska.
Inner City Press was there,
from thread:
Judge Preska:
What is the status of
discovery?
AUSA: We got
warrants in California, and
seized electronics.
Judge: Mr.
Garcia, we will next see you
here on December 15
[Judge
Preska also handed Giuffre v
Ghislaine Maxwell]
On October 10 the
US Attorney's Office proposed
a protective order beyond what
Naason Joaquin Garcia would
agree to, letter on Patreon here
