In December 2018, a Brazilian faith healer and former associate of Oprah Winfrey known as João Teixeira de Faria (aka John of God) was sentenced to 19 years and four months in prison for raping four different women amid 600 allegations. After the ruling, he was still faced with nearly ten criminal cases related to sex crimes. On Monday, a judge in Goiás, Brazil, added 99 years to João's prison sentence for ‘rape of vulnerable persons’ and ‘sexual violation through fraud. Now, the 81-year-old Brazilian psychic faces 370 years, 9 months, and 15 days in prison. The award-winning author was best known for claiming to have the power of healing people. He rose to global stardom in 2014 after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
