The story of a woman who was made a part of a sex racket in guise of attaining higher self has left many in shock. According to a report in The Sun, the woman was made to have sex with Gregorian Bivolaru, a sex-trafficking cult.
The report revealed how she was lured into a sex cult, putting her in the bed of the movement’s so-called guru. Being at the centre of an international trafficking and sexual exploitation ring, she worked as topless masseur and a sex cam girl.
The report, citing the woman, claimed that she was brain-washed into believing that Bivolaru was ‘God on Earth’ and that she can receive a higher spiritual awakening by having sex with her.
“I thought, ‘I don’t want to do this." The Sun quoted the 30-something-year-old woman from Oxfordshire, as saying.
“I was physically repulsed by this person. I was shocked because we had been told so much about how this was a perfect living example of a tantric master," she said.
Describing the experience as sickening and bizarre, she told The Sun that she engaged in sexual activities with the small and dishevelled 67-year-old man at his two-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Paris.
Closing her eyes, she recited the ‘consecration ritual’ she had been taught – “Lord God, I offer up to you, here and now, totally and unconditionally, all the fruits of this action."
The UK woman added, “I went into autopilot, feeling completely disconnected and repulsed. After three of the positions he said, ‘You have lost your erotic energy. We are going to stop.’"
Her absurd journey began in the most ordinary way possible when she joined a yoga class in London a few years ago. At that time, she was an English teacher.
A respectable and educated woman, she was in stress as she was looking for a job as a teacher in London when in 2017 she came across the Tara Yoga Centre near Old Street in 2017. She joined the classes in order to find some spiritual and mental wellbeing.
The centre promoted the teachings of Romanian-born Bivolaru, and was part of the the Movement for Spiritual Integration into the Absolute (MISA) it had various branches in the UK and 28 other countries.
She told The Sun that in guise of spirituality, she came encountered strange and unexpected events that promoted sex in every possible way.
In the spring of 2018, she was invited to attend a weekend retreat in a beautiful country house in Somerset, organised by the Centre.
She revealed, “The course was called ‘The Polarity Retreat’. Polarity is one of their tantric theories that there is a very binary concept that men and women have very different needs, qualities and energies and that by separating them, as much as possible, you increase the magnetism between them."
At the house, the men and women were split into separate groups – a tactic to " increase the magnetism between them."
After some meditative yoga with the women’s group, she was surprised when things took an overtly sexual turn – learning about make-up, clothes and how to look sexy.
“We were encouraged to dance very sexually to a song," she says.
Later, they were told to surprise the men by doing the sexy dance for them they had learned.
She said, “Some of the teachers wore just their underwear or took their underwear off when they were in there. I wore a short skirt and a top.
“I danced close to my tantric teacher from London and I remember him looking directly at my crotch."
“I was shocked because it was very much in conflict with everything we had been taught about spiritual sexuality where teachers, in particular, were on a higher level and understood women and worshipped them and didn’t sexualise them."
Previously in June 2019, she was informed that Bivolaru, was ready to meet her and there would also be something called “an initiation."
Around the same time she learned Bivolaru had been sentenced to six years in jail for having sex with an underage girl in Romania.
Agnes Arabela Marques, 33, would later reveal she was one of the underage girls he abused, when she was 15, and she revealed he believed he could achieve a high level of spirituality if he slept with 1,000 virgins.
However, in November 2023, Bivolaru was arrested by French police on charges of human trafficking, organised kidnapping, rape and organised abuse of weakness by members of a sect.
In a raid, which also saw 40 of his followers arrested and £500,000 seized, police found 58 women living in appalling conditions in various properties, with no hygiene facilities, and many were malnourished.
The investigation into the sex racket is ongoing.
