One year after the story first broke, charges have still not been brought against Dr. William Weaver, a minister in New Jersey who is accused of orally raping men. The priest hit headlines after he is alleged to have claimed that he 'was sucking demons out'.
The abuse was taking place over a number of years, dating back as far as 1999, and that the minister used the ruse of 'sucking out demons' to convince men into positions where he could molest them. He claimed that he had learned the ritual from a Native American and that it allowed him to remove demons by carrying out oral stimulation on the men's genitals.

There are at least 3 known accusers to this misconduct. They said that during the ceremony, the minister would undress them, perform various 'holy actions' and then perform oral sex on them. He would then, bizarrely, spit objects into a zip lock bag and claim that he had literally sucked them out of the men. He would also put his tongue in their mouths to see 'if there were any spirits hiding in there'.
One victim said:
"He would then ingest my ********* and then would spit up multiple pieces of plastic or metal into a Ziploc bag."
Another said:
"When it was over he showed me what looked to be a tiny metal ball and said that was what he got out of me."
After some time, the men apparently caught on to the trick and begun to believe that something wasn't quite right about the 'indigenous ceremony'. Despite the allegations, the minister is facing no criminal charges, although an internal investigation in the church found the accusations' credible'.
Rev. Leslie Dobbs-Allsopp, interim leader of the Elizabeth Presbytery, who carried out the internal investigation stated:
"In April 2018, the Presbytery of Elizabeth received allegations of multiple instances of sexual misconduct perpetrated by William Weaver, who was a minister member of the Presbytery… Mr. Weaver was placed on administrative leave while the Investigating Committee conducted interviews with multiple witnesses. The allegations were found to be credible, and disciplinary charges were filed, and an ecclesiastical disciplinary hearing date was set."
It is believed that the minister is no longer part of the church, but it is not known if he has continued to carry out his special rituals with other unsuspecting men or if there are other victims that have yet to speak out.
