Rape Academy Scandal on CNN and Hypnosis
I wanted to write to you directly in response to what has recently come to light: the CNN investigation published in March 2026 exposing online communities where men were actively teaching each other how to drug and sexually assault their sleeping partners. French lawmaker Sandrine Josso, herself a survivor, called them "schools of violence." I think that term says it all. As practitioners working in the spaces of hypnosis, trance, and conscious BDSM, we exist in a territory that the public eye already views with suspicion. I have recently been the subject of articles in the Spanish press speculating whether my retreat was a cult. And my response to that is: it's okay. What matters is that you operate from a place of impeccable integrity and alignment. You are playing a long game, and that game is built on trust. If you are a white man, a hypnotist, and a dom like me, please understand that people have every reason in the world not to trust you. History does not play in your favour. You carry within you the generational wounds of the abuser, the coloniser, the oppressor. That is the material you are working with from day one. Avoiding that acknowledgement will create enormous friction in you, and as we can see in these lost men making the news, it will make you sick. You must do the work: recognise it, forgive it, discharge it, and let it go. If you are learning and teaching these things, you carry a collective responsibility to do so with the utmost care and love. You are here to spread joy and safety from a place of service. That is the divine masculine in its integrated form. It is a long game. Let's show women that men can be trusted again by offering safety, pleasure, and genuine joy. Hold yourself accountable. Seek feedback constantly. Reinforce consent at every stage. These are not optional extras; they are the foundation. They are what I teach in my BDSM classes, and I ask the same of everyone I work with. I am convinced that the state of the world reflects how men treat women and the Earth. Look at how you relate to nature and you will understand how you relate to the feminine. The Weinstein scandal, the Epstein files, and now these online assault networks: none of this is coincidental. These are the shadows we are being collectively asked to face if we want to evolve as a species. All of them connect back to the same fault lines: sexuality, power, and our disconnection from the feminine.
