China court jails religious 'cult' leader for life - Times of India: "A court in the southern city of Zhuhai on Friday also fined Wu Zeheng, head of the "Huazang Zongmen" sect, more than 7.0 million yuan ($1.1 million), it said. The charges included organising a cult, rape, fraud and selling harmful food products.
Wu seduced dozens of women by telling them sex with him could give them "supernatural power", state media has said. He also operated a restaurant which claimed the food was cooked with "precious" ingredients.
A police investigation showed Wu had amassed an illegal fortune of more than 6.9 million yuan through his activities, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
The court also sentenced three of his followers to jail terms of one to four years, but one of those tried escaped punishment, the statement said.
The group, which operates under multiple names, claims links to Buddhism."
