MORE ON THE STORY
An MSNBC story from New Orleans:
"One time, I had to return something to (Lamonica)," Norman said. "I walked up to the door and heard his wife screaming. She was a Eucharistic minister, too, and I heard her say, 'I'm going to whip the sins right out of this guy.' She was screaming at the top of her lungs. Man, I turned right back around. I had goose pimples. I told my wife they're doing an exorcism. It was like 'Poltergeist' or something."
Another story on this ring from the Associated Press includes this comment:
Reed said Hosanna Church was founded by Lamonica's father, who died years ago, and was once affiliated with the Assemblies of God. Authorities suspect the alleged abuse began after the younger Lamonica took over the church, it left the Assemblies of God and a large number of its members left, Reed said.
This story comes from rickross.com:
According to Carpenter, Lamonica described how he had sex with some children, and then taught them to have sex with each other and an animal.
“That’s what he told detectives,” said Carpenter. “He said he was educating the children in sexual exploits and how to have sex. We didn’t know how to take it the man just came in off the street.”
The New York Times Institute reports:
NEW ORLEANS – “There were ritualistic acts that were going on. There were pentagrams drawn, and the children would be placed inside the pentagram,” Tangipahoa Sheriff Daniel Edwards said of an alleged child-sex-abuse ring at the Hosanna Church in Ponchatoula….
Normand said the children of the church were rarely seen, but he recalled Lamonica requesting the use of the creek on Normand’s side of the property.
“They wanted to baptize children in that creek,” Normand said. “I told them there was mercury in that creek. It’s poisonous!”
Normand said the church ignored his warnings and trespassed on his property to get to the creek.
“Some of the members we spoke to indicated that some of these people were devil worshippers,” Edwards said of the church’s activities. “I can’t say all of them were. I just can’t say at this time.”
