Free sex cult gets senator all steamed up

Manila - A Philippines senator asked law enforcement authorities on Thursday to investigate a cult that sent offers of "free sex" to several members of the country's highest legislative body.

Senator Rodolfo Biazon said he received a letter with lewd photos from a shadowy cult called "Espedeject Ideology", inviting him to to join the group in exchange for free sex with members.

"I have asked the police and the National Bureau of Investigation to look into the activities of this group," Biazon said in a radio interview.

"This cult has the temerity to send me pictures that are not only immoral but may also be criminal in nature," he added.

The pictures showed alleged members of the group, who appeared to be minors, engaged in sexual acts.

The letter and photographs carried the return address of a certain Leonardo Erobas, who claimed to be the leader of the group, from Villadolid in central Negros Occidental province, 525km south of Manila.

According to the letter, the "Espedeject Ideology" espouses free sex and the use of illegal drugs.

Aside from Biazon, senators Loren Legarda, Noli de Castro and Robert Jaworski also received the same letter of invitation and the attached photographs. -
