I'm not dowsing anything on this guy. He might have real "spiritual"
powers and be well shielded.
Interesting case. Excerpt from link:
Pepin's Higher Balance Institute, now on Northwest Saltzman Road in
Cedar Mill, reached an annual high of $2 million in Internet sales of
meditation CDs, tapes and books before his arrest in July.
Pepin touts himself as a psychic and "remote viewer" who has found
lost submarines and missing people, and says he created the "psychic
pill" Magneurol6-S that enhances brain function, heals nerve damage,
heightens paranormal experiences and relieves stress for $79 a bottle.
Andrew Erwin, deputy district attorney, called Higher Balance nothing
more than a sex cult run by a "snake oil" salesman who preys on the
troubled.
The accuser had nothing to gain by going to police and turned down
$250,000 from Pepin to drop the sex charges, Erwin said.
(snip) But the bottom line is this: Eric Pepin is convicted out of his
own mouth. I mean, what kind of teacher of meditation says that he has
sex with all his employees? And all of them young men?
