#BREAKING: Jewish Child Sex-Trafficking Ring Operating Out Of Guatemala
3 members of what is considered an 'extremist Jewish sect', 'Lev Tahor', have been found guilty of kidnapping and trafficking children.
They have been found guilty of:
Kidnapping a 12-year-old boy.
Kidnapping a 14-year-old girl.
Transporting the 14-year-old girl outside the US to continue sexual relations with her adult male 'husband'.
The children were subjected to "forced child marriages, physical beatings, family separations, and burning children's hands."
This all came about when former member of Lev Tahor, 24-year-old Shimon Malka, testified in federal court that he assisted in the 2018 kidnapping of two children from their mother, Sara Helbrans, the daughter of the sect’s founder, Shlomo Helbrans, and sister of current Lev Tahor leader Nachman Helbrans.
Weeks before, Sara had escaped from the sect located in Mexico at that time, following her disapproval of her 14-year-old daughter being forced into a marriage.
Despite having departed from Lev Tahor two months prior, Malka participated in the abduction, motivated by the hope that it would facilitate a reunion with his wife who had stayed behind with the sect.
However, prosecutors proposed to exempt him from charges in exchange for his collaboration as a witness for the government.
The Lev Tahor group was founded in Israel in 1988 by a man named Shlomo Erez Helbrans.
Helbrans then moved to the US with his his followers in 1990.
The group is synonymous with kidnapping schemes with Helbrans himself serving prison time in the US during the '90s for kidnapping a 13-year-old boy from his secular mother.
The group moved to Canada, then Mexico, and is now based in Guatemala.
