A Georgia man who called himself a "witch doctor" is going to jail for life! Hassan Shalgheen, 45 years old, was found guilty of attacking a woman during a so-called "spiritual cleansing" ceremony.
The woman went to Shalgheen's apartment in February 2023 because she wanted him to remove bad energy through a ritual. They had been talking online, and Shalgheen charged her $1,500 for this service.
The woman agreed to pay a deposit and the rest later. She was then told to wear a white nightgown for the ritual, which would take three hours. According to the woman, she saw a gun when she entered the apartment and felt scared, but she still changed clothes.

Sadly, instead of performing the ritual, Shalgheen forced himself on the woman and assaulted her twice. He wouldn't let her leave at first, but eventually, he allowed her to get dressed. He even asked her for more money before she could go!
The woman bravely left Shalgheen's place and reported the attack to the police. They found evidence at his apartment that linked him to the crime.
After the news broke about Shalgheen's arrest, other women came forward saying they had similar experiences with him. Two of them even testified in court.
The judge sentenced Shalgheen to life in prison, and the police department is encouraging anyone who has been a victim of a similar crime to come forward.
