▫️Self-styled Hindu 'God on earth' accused of raping and abusing ex-disciples defeats £8m lawsuit as judge rules evidence against him is 'not sufficiently credible'
A Hindu religious leader accused of proclaiming himself 'God-on-earth' while abusing and raping his followers has defeated a £8million lawsuit against him. Four women accused Rajinder Kalia, saying he 'groomed' members of his temple to believe he is 'an incarnation of God', while preying on women and underage girls.
Mr Kalia - head priest at his Hindu-based temple in Coventry - was accused of wooing worshippers by claiming he could perform 'miracles,' including setting fire to water and squeezing blood from a lemon.
He was sued by four former temple members, who claimed he took advantage of his position to subject them to sexual abuse, three of them while still children.

▫️Sex offender who targeted girls online across the UK jailed for 27 years
A prolific sex offender from Northern Ireland, who posed as a teenage boy on Snapchat and Instagram to trap his child victims, has been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
David John Andrews, 55, was told at Downpatrick Crown Court that he would serve a minimum of 13 and a half years, after which parole commissioners would determine when he can be released.
Police have said it is clear his offending, which involved coercing victims into sending him nude photographs, spread across the UK. During the course of a four-year investigation detectives discovered nearly 10,000 illicit images of children on Andrews’ electronic devices, and approximately 40 usernames that he had used to pose as young boys online.
