A 'sexual fraudster' psychic brainwashed young women into stripping naked at seances and performing sex acts on themselves in front of him, a court heard today.

'Cruel' medium Karl Lang, allegedly tricked women into taking their clothes off to carry out sexual acts which he said would 'enhance their psychic powers'.

Mr Lang, 49, is said to have persuaded the women to strip by telling them 'being more outrageous would please the spirits'.

The two women, both in their twenties, were allegedly tricked after coming to Mr Lang to help contact their dead relatives.

1. What a fucking pig!

I suppose because this is the skeptics' group I should mention the absolute bullshit that the women fell for.

2. Taking advantage of people when they are struck with terrible grief is extremely low, in my opinion.

3. What do you want to bet that alcohol was involved here?

Alcohol and/or great stupidity.

4. Talking young women out of their clothes?

He should write a how-to book. It'd be a big seller among adolescent boys.

5. Well that would give him something to do while incarcerated. n/t

6. Found guilty (though by a majority verdict)

A jury found him guilty of all 12 charges, dismissing claims that he was an innocent spiritualist instructor. All 12 counts were majority verdicts.

So one or two jurors believed him, when he claimed:

Lang’s police interview was read out, in which he told officers that one of his alleged victims took her clothes off in one of his sessions, which left him “totally shocked” adding “I wouldn’t request that of a partner”.

But, he added, the key to spiritualism is “letting yourself go. If they decide to take their clothes off, it’s their problem”.

Notice that he also played the "I'm a Christian" card.
