‘Sex abuse’ healer: God & I are cool
A FREAKY faith healer jailed on charges of sexually abusing five patients remains unworried about his legal future — or his fate in the afterlife.
“What happens on Earth is erased here,” inmate Cristian Robles calmly informed the Daily News one day after his arrival inside a Bronx jail.
Robles, wearing a gray jailhouse jumpsuit and speaking in Spanish, insisted his accusers were in the wrong with their allegations of sexual assault and “death curses.”
“They’re crazy,” the self-proclaimed “spiritual healer” said Friday morning about those who view him as a predator. “I am with God in principle.”
He’s also with the rest of the inmates inside the Vernon C. Bain Center after a Bronx judge jailed Robles (photo) on $200,000 bond at his Thursday arraignment.
Robles, 32, was charged with eight crimes, ranging from sexual abuse to illegal fortune telling, linked to his twisted medical practice.
His lawyer insisted that Robles was innocent.
A prosecutor suggested in court that additional charges involving more victims were possible. Robles allegedly targeted both unwitting men and women for his sexual shenanigans.
Authorities said Robles held a knife to a man’s throat while attempting to have sex with him, placed “death curses” on his patients and their families, and caused a pregnant woman to suffer a miscarriage.
And they quoted him as making threats more satanic than sacred.
“If you do not let me touch you, you and your family will die,” Robles allegedly told one of the five victims of his perverse medical practice before his arrest.
Robles, citing advice from his attorney, declined to answer questions about the pending prosecution.
Yet despite the allegations, his arrest and his incarceration, the inmate appeared preternaturally calm about his prospects.
“I am with God,” he repeated.
