Ultra-religionists, no matter the brand of fiction, exhibit higher prevalence of authoritarian personality dysfunction:
Jerusalem rabbi arrested for 'holding women in slavery':
Israeli police have arrested a
rabbi who is suspected of
holding around 50 women and children in conditions of slavery. The suspect, in his 60s, was detained in an ultra-Orthodox district in central Jerusalem on suspicion of running a "closed community" where women and children "worked under conditions of slavery". He and eight female accomplices are suspected of
isolating the women in a residential complex, along with
children up to the age of five, it added. The arrest follows a raid on the complex, where the alleged
victims are believed to have been
kept isolated from their families. The
women had been punished in various ways and had
money stolen from them, police said.
A
two-month investigation was launched after police received reports
the religious leader had for years committed "severe offences" against those living at the residence, police said.
Predictably, the suspect has denied doing anything wrong.
