A hoard of federal agents raided a California home tied to the pastor at the center of the Netflix docuseries “Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult,” as part of an investigation into sex trafficking, money laundering and other crimes.
The joint operation was carried out by FBI agents and the El Monte Tactical Team at the residence in Tujunga on Friday around 7 a.m. They served warrants related to allegations of sex trafficking, money laundering, mail fraud, tax evasion and COVID-19-related fraud, after which several people were placed in handcuffs, per footage from KTLA.
The identities of those detained were not immediately clear. No arrests have been announced.
According to property records cited by the Los Angeles Times, the home on the 7700 block of McGroarty St. has several owners, including Robert Shinn, pastor of the Shekinah Church. Both he and his church are featured in a three-part Netflix series, which follows several former members who also worked with the 7M Films talent agency. --->READ MORE HERE
