Spread the message to anybody that might benefit from it and I was having people reach out and connecting with people that had been involved with the school through that and then

My – there's an article that got published and there was this man in France who's in the docuseries and he had these kind of keywords set up that he would be alerted if they had come up in an article.

Oh, Google Alert.

And the article I was in hit all of them.

Really?

It was like Romanian goo.

Yeah, he for whatever reason was –

was invested in this case already and he had it set up so words like Romania, yoga, tantra,

All these words, and this article had all of them.

So he suspected that he might be in hiding in France because that's where he'd previously been hiding, but he'd never had any tangible evidence or any testimony since his previous escape into hiding that that's where he was.

And all of a sudden he has this article from 2018 that's sort of confirming he is in France and I went there.

Then he was able to, he's connected to the French police or he had a contact within the French police.

And then he started to collect testimonies and forwarded them on to the police, which linked us in with Caimard, which is the coolest thing that actually exists in France.

It's a police unit that specifically specializes in cult organizations and cult abuse.

So abuse by abuse within a cultic organization.

No, that's really unique to France.

It's very ironic.

And yeah, so eventually we got linked in with Kaimard and they had...

They took our testimonies online and it was several months after the testimonies that the arrests were made.

And I think that is a reflection of just how big the case was and just how much they wanted to make sure that they got it right because they didn't want to arrest him without a strong enough case because then he might just get away again.
