Victorian sex cult with no exit
The Agapemonites was a secret Victorian sex cult based in Spaxton, England, where members were forbidden to leave and were subjected to strict control, including sex ceremonies led by their leader, Henry James Prince, who claimed to be the Holy Spirit. Many members, including wealthy women, lost their fortunes and some took their own lives amid allegations of manipulation and exploitation. The cult declined after Prince’s death, and the chapel used by the group is now an Airbnb.
