SCORPION-MAN 71<br />

When all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs left and Baba got [Patrick] alone ... <strong>the</strong><br />

next thing that happened was that in one smooth motion,<br />

Baba reached down and unzipped Patrick’s fly, and pulled<br />

his tool out....<br />

[H]e worked up a bone all right, and <strong>the</strong> next thing that<br />

happened is really gonna blow your mind. Baba lifted his<br />

robe and inserted <strong>the</strong> thing. That’s right. Maybe he’s got a<br />

woman’s organ and a man’s organ down <strong>the</strong>re. Yeah, a hermaphrodite.<br />

But he honestly inserted it. Patrick said it felt<br />

just like a woman.<br />

More serious are <strong>the</strong> guru’s alleged interests in young boys:<br />

Conny Larsson, a well-known Swedish film actor, says that<br />

not only did Sai Baba make homosexual advances towards<br />

him, but he was also told by young male disciples of advances<br />

<strong>the</strong> guru had made on <strong>the</strong>m (Brown, 2000).<br />

Larsson himself claims that <strong>the</strong> guru regularly practiced oral<br />

sex on him—and asked for it in return—over a five-year period.<br />

“By 1986, Mr. Larsson had talked to many young male devotees,<br />

most of <strong>the</strong>m attractive blond Westerners, who told him <strong>the</strong>y too<br />

had had sex with Sai Baba” (B. Harvey, 2000a). He says he now<br />

receives twenty to thirty emails a day from victims “crying out for<br />

help” (Brown, 2000).<br />

Hans de Kraker ... who first visited Sai Baba’s ashram in<br />

1992, said <strong>the</strong> guru would regularly rub oil on his genitals,<br />

claiming it was a religious cleansing, and eventually tried to<br />

force him to perform oral sex (P. Murphy, 2000).<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r sixteen-year-old boy whose parents were both Sai<br />

devotees told his story to <strong>the</strong>m:<br />

Sai Baba, he said, had kissed him, fondled him and attempted<br />

to force him to perform oral sex, explaining that it<br />

was for “purification.” On almost every occasion Sai Baba<br />

had given him gifts of watches, rings, trinkets and cash, in<br />

total around $10,000. He had told him to say nothing to his<br />

parents....<br />

In 1998 [i.e., at age eighteen], according to [<strong>the</strong> boy], Sai<br />

Baba attempted to rape him (Brown, 2000).
