A new sexual abuse lawsuit has been filed against Naasón Joaquín García, leader of the Mexico-based La Luz Del Mundo megachurch, and other high-ranking church members.
“The civil lawsuit is the Jane Does’ second opportunity to really achieve justice that was lost due to a lot of mistakes which were made at the criminal level,” attorney Jonati"Joey" Yedidsion said at a press conference Monday in downtown L.A.
“Ultimately the abuse they experienced is catastrophic, to say the least,” Yedidsion added, saying three of the Jane Does were minors at the time their abuse began.that García conditioned his victims “to serve him above all else,” according to a statement from the plaintiffs’ attorneys. Among other things, victims were coerced into pornographic “photoshoots” and dancing for García nude or in their underwear, according to the complaint. On one occasion, a 14-year-old girl was instructed to “receive the blessing of delivering coffee to Naason in his office, undressed.” She was then “groped, fondled, molested, kissed, sexually assaulted, abused, and harassed by Naason on this visit.
The plaintiffs were all church members in L.A. County, Yedidsion said, where much of the abuse alleged in the complaint occurred.Two female former church members who are not part of this lawsuit but who said they were also abused by church members were at the press conference. They did not wish to share their names, but said they would be part of forthcoming litigation.
