Show Notes
Roch Thériault was a self-proclaimed prophet. He founded the Ant Hill Kids, a Canadian, doomsday cult, in 1977. Roch maintained multiple wives and concubines, impregnating all female members as a religious requirement, and fathering 26 children. Roch's followers, including 12 adults and 22 children, lived under his totalitarian rule in a commune and were subject to severe physical and sexual abuse.
