In 2005 Child rights campaigner and former Australian of the Year Dr Reina Michaelson claimed that Ordo Templis Orientis (OTO) Australia was not a religion but a child pornography and pedophile ring, that its members practised trauma-based mind control, sexual abuse and satanic rituals to discourage its victims from complaining to the authorities, and that it condoned kidnapping street children and babies and children from orphanages for sex and sacrifice in religious rituals.

Her claims were never investigated properly and were covered up. She gave a video tape of evidence to a television station, who 'lost' it. Her statement shows a pattern of stonewalling by authorities.

Victim "Mick" as a child witnessed animal and child sacrifice; and the consumption of organs and dead bodies. The children and babies were taken from the street or from orphanages. Cult members were politicians and other powerful people. Children would 'host' the parties while naked. Most of the adults would wear masks. After the food, the adults would rape the children. The boy said that children who tried to escape were killed, often in front of the other children in order to control the children through fear. Once Mick and another child had tried to escape but were caught. The other child was murdered by having her head smashed open with a rock. Her body was then dumped in a nearby mineshaft. Mick was spared the same fate, as he was told that he was the "chosen one", selected to carry on the traditions of the group. Mick was forced to participate in the production of child pornography, including movies as well as still photographs. This involved sexual activity with other children as well as adults. He would get paid a small amount for his sexual "services", while the relative who brought him to the events would get paid a large amount of money. As he got older, Mick was no longer used for sexual purposes by the group but was required to recruit new younger children. When he was old enough (in his 20's), Mick was able to escape the group but they continue to contact him with threats.

David Bottrill and Brent Gray of OTO took advantage of religious vilification laws to sue Dr Reina Michaelson. http://www.otoaustralia.org.au/legal http://www.otoaustralia.org.au/#!legal/cpw3

“… the victims who were abused as part of this network as children can testify to the fact that police officers we’re actually being paid off so that this criminal network remained untouchable.” – Dr. Reina Michaelson

A tightly organised, mafia-style, hierarchically structured crime syndicate has infiltrated every aspect of Australian society including Parliament, judiciary, church denominations, law enforcement, military, child protection, hospitals, educational facilities and childcare centres.  The network has numerous branches and many thousands of members who profit from various illegal activities including drugs, arms and child sex trafficking.  It is a well oiled, clandestine machine fuelled by public ignorance and distraction. Ritual abuse is part of what they do. one Sydney rape counsellor estimates from her contact with therapists that about 300 women in NSW are being treated for ritual abuse. That estimate is supported by the Herald’s own calls to “survivor” groups, therapists and sexual assault workers. Phoenix Van Dyke, the organiser of the ritual abuse support group Beyond Survivors, says she has been in contact with more than 200 women who believe they are survivors. The Sydney Rape Crisis Centre has had more than 100 cases in recent years and one major Sydney hospital about 30. This view has been fuelled by allegations, currently under investigation, that NSW police have been bribed by pedophiles. One therapist claims to have seen infra-red Federal Police photographs of nocturnal forest rituals. A Child Protection Services official talks about covens meeting around Australia on certain days of the year.  Even the official NSW Government booklet on ritual abuse – distributed to hundreds of health workers since 1993 – dismisses the growing body of contrary evidence as an example of society’s collective “denial.”

Dr Michaelson and her family were physically threatened to the point where they were forced to relocate three states away, the alleged pedophile network was never investigated, the alleged perpetrators were never charged, and the alleged victims remained at risk.

OTO began a defamation case against Gaiaguys.net who published an article which accused them of ritual abuse in Victoria.  The Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal found in favour of the OTO and ordered the website founders, Dyson Devine and Vivienne Legg, to remove the offending material.  The couple did not comply with this order and in 2008 they were sentenced to nine months prison.

Bottrill of OTO also sued Cristian for defamation and was awarded $10,000. Cristian sought leave to appeal the ACAT decision but was denied. This is Fiona Cristian's website, which talks about Satanism and the illuminati http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:GLNDjOFJ95gJ:loveforlife.com.au/content/15/03/30/darkness-visible-part-one-c-arthur-fiona-cristian-love-life-14th-december-2014+&cd=13&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au This was written in response to Bottrill. The writing style is a bit confusing, but I find sense to it when sticking with it: https://www.facebook.com/arthurcristian/posts/10205735441333352

Bottrill of the OTO also threatened to sue Luke's Army: http://www.jewworldorder.org/ordo-templi-orientis-australian-national-treasurer-david-bottrill-taking-lukes-army-admins-to-court-5/
