Israeli cult leader with 21 wives who had his face tattooed on their arms indicted on abuse and rape charges
More here: Israeli cult leader charged with enslavement, rape - CNN.comAn Israeli man accused of having 21 wives and fathering 49 children was charged Sunday in a Tel Aviv court with multiple counts of sexual assault, rape, sodomy and enslavement. Goel Ratzon, 60, was arrested last month.
Authorities charge that he lived in a compound with the 21 wives, having convinced them that he was omnipotent.
All the wives tattooed Ratzon's name and picture on their arms and the children's names are all derivatives of his name, according to the court papers.
Ratzon married his first wife in 1972, added a second wife in the early 1980s, and from 1991 added another 19 wives, according to the indictment.
He persuaded the women that he had the power to heal and curse, through which he gained "complete control of their lives, desires, thoughts, emotions and actions," the court papers say.

Man was also a masochist.
Now that's cruel and unusual punishment!the sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

You'd think with 21 wives, at some point this guy would have had a Custer moment. I mean, how badly outnumbered do you need to be before you realize you're screwed?
