ANTI-CHILD-SEX campaigner Reina Michaelson accused an occult religious group of hosting parties at which naked children acted as waiters and at which members had sex with and murdered children.
The obscure group Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) claims Dr Reina Michaelson and the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Program described it in a website article as a cult that sacrificed children and ate their organs and blood.
It has complained under Victoria's religious hatred law that Dr Michaelson and her organisation vilified OTO members, causing revulsion, ridicule, hatred and contempt.
Dr Michaelson said it was not a religion but a child pornography and pedophile ring, that its members practiced trauma-based mind control, sexual abuse and sacrifice to discourage its victims from complaining to the authorities, and that it condoned kidnapping street children and babies and children from orphanages for sex and sacrifice in religious rituals.
The case was heard at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

The article suggests senior politicians and television celebrities are part of a top-level pedophile ring and have been protected by some police. It says some members of the ring pretended to support Dr Michaelson's campaign and became board members of her group to subvert it from within.
Dr Michaelson once called for a royal commission to investigate her claims that Victoria Police did not properly investigate pedophile ring allegations. Earlier complaints led to a report by the police ombudsman in 2004 that was highly critical of two senior detectives.
OTO members follow a religion known as Thelema, founded by occultist Aleister Crowley.
As a result of the court proceeding, Dr Michaelson was court-ordered to publish a disclaimer in favour of the OTO, the Ombudsman’s investigation findings were never published, Dr Michaelson and her family were physically threatened to the point where they were forced to relocate three states away, the alleged pedophile network was never investigated, the perpetrators were never charged, and the victims remained at risk.
In 2005, the OTO began a defamation case against a website that accuses it as a pedophile ring. The website (Gaiaguys.net) typically covered topics including environmental issues and government corruption. The Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal found in favour of the OTO and ordered the website founders, Dyson Devine and Vivienne Legg, to remove the offending material. The couple did not comply with this order and in 2008 they were sentenced to nine months prison.
