Black Magic, Black Heart

Police in Texas arrested a man who allegedly lured a teenage girl into his home under the pretense he knew black magic and then sexually assaulted her.

Mario Munoz-Verudes, 60, was booked into the Harris County Jail on Saturday on rape charges.

The alleged sexual assault happened on Sept. 23. Investigators said Munoz-Verdures invited a 17-year-old church member into his home, claiming he could rid her of bad spirits.

He then allegedly raped the teen and “threatened to put a curse on her if she told anyone,” according to court records obtained by the Houston Chronicle.

Here's hoping justice comes through in this case.  Though I hope the girl learned a valuable lesson in making decisions.  Just because someone claims to be holy and righteous doesn't mean they are.  In fact, in most cases, the more they claim it the less likely it is to be true.  It's very sad that she learned it the hard way, but maybe her story will help prevent this from happening to another young girl.

It takes a certain kind of evil to exploit the inherent gullibility of the young.
