6. Branch Davidians
In 1990, David Koresh became a leader of the Branch Davidians. His preachings included “spiritual weddings” which enabled him to have a variety of sexual relationships with women and girls of all ages. He was also building an “Army of God” and began stockpiling weapons.
Koresh’s group is synonymous now with the town of Waco, Texas, and the 1993 shooting and eventual siege of their compound that left over 80 people dead, including four U.S. agents and Koresh himself.
