INCHEON (South Korea) - THE South Korean leader of a fringe religious sect was forcibly returned from China to Seoul on Wednesday to face charges of his raping female followers.
Jung Myong Seok, 63, fled to China from South Korea in 2001 where he had been charged with selecting followers from photographs and then forcing them to have sex with him.
Jung was escorted off the plane by prosecutors who placed him in a car on the tarmac that whisked him away.
The leader of the JMS or Jesus Morning Star sect, was arrested in May 2007 in northeastern China, South Korea's Justice Ministry said. It requested Chinese authorities to extradite Jung.
South Korean media said JMS was founded in 1980 and expanded into Japan under the name 'Setsuri', which means providence. -- AFP
