Damn.

Does anyone know, were there any sex-cults and practices like this during the birth of/early America? The 1700/1800's? I researched it and I can't find anything (outside of freemason conspiracies), but it seems like all throughout history, we've had "sexual, ritualistic, child-oriented sex-cults".

Like it's never stopped, and never will.

Edit: Just did another search again, and the only thing I can find was the term "NRM" (New Religious Movement), which was coined in the 1800's due to the formation of cults in abundance, but none are mentioned and I can't find any. Apparently they weren't called cults back then, they were called "NRMs". Allegedly, many childhood stories that were meant to scare children into staying/not straying too far from home (even back in the 1800's, short stories almost like that of IT), were based on truths and come from dark practices like this.
