Federal Indictment Exposes Allegations Against La Luz del Mundo Leadership

Federal Indictment of Naasón Joaquín García



A federal indictment has been unsealed against Naasón Joaquín García, the leader of the La Luz del Mundo church, along with five co-defendants, bringing to light numerous allegations surrounding decades of abuse. This legal action was announced by Moses Castillo Investigations, LLC, and filed in the Southern District of New York, detailing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and child exploitation.

García, who is already serving a lengthy 16-year prison sentence in California for prior crimes involving minors, was apprehended in federal custody in Chino, California. Prosecutors allege that García, using his religious authority, along with his inner circle, systematically exploited children and women, manipulating them under the pretense of spiritual guidance and institutional power.

Moses Castillo, a retired LAPD detective and well-known advocate for victims of abuse, said, "This indictment showcases the bravery of the survivors and the determination of investigators. It emphasizes the critical need for accountability and support for those affected by such institutional betrayals." With over 25 years of experience investigating sex crimes, Castillo has been pivotal in shedding light on sexual abuse cases, proposing that survivors deserve trauma-informed care and support.

The indictment highlights the tactics employed by García and his predecessors to silence victims, often threatening them with spiritual damnation and financial repercussions. In an alarming twist, several co-defendants remain at large and are suspected to be hiding in Mexico, complicating the pursuit of justice in this matter.

The call for community involvement is growing stronger. Moses Castillo Investigations is urging survivors and witnesses to come forward, promising confidential and bilingual support systems to facilitate the healing and justice process for all those affected. ``We are committed to creating a safe space where victims can share their stories without fear of judgment or retaliation,” he emphasized.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the urgency for transparency and accountability becomes even more apparent. The indictment is a critical step toward addressing the injustices that many individuals have endured within the folds of institutional authority. Survivors of abuse deserve not only recognition of their pain but also a pathway to healing and advocacy. The La Luz del Mundo case exemplifies the pressing need for societal change and the dismantling of cultures that protect abusers under the guise of religious or authoritative power.
