Ndobe Kang, who was well-known in the US and Africa, reportedly forced himself on a 19-year-old patient who was told that she needed to have sex with him to 'get rid of demons.'

Prison awaits a holistic healer convicted of taking advantage of a female client. Court records also reveal what he's separately charged with since the assault six years ago.A man who identified as a holistic healer was convicted of sexually assaulting a female patient and sentenced to 12 years in prison by a jury and will have to register as a sex offender.

Ndobe Kang, who is originally from Cameroon, will get credit for the more than 400 days he has already been behind bars for the 2017 charge. Kang practices reiki energy healing, which uses gentle touch to ease anxiety and stress. Prosecutor Sepi Zimmer said he treated patients at his home.In 2017, Kang told the victim, Tara Vigil, that she had a hex on her and he could get rid of it, Zimmer said.

Vigil went to his home and laid entirely clothed in his bed. He played relaxing music while he shook marbles over her for about 20 minutes. Kang then reportedly began touching her inappropriately. Kang told Vigil that she had demons and he needed to have sex with her to get rid of them.According to the prosecutor, Kang then forced himself on the woman, who was 19 years old at the time."This man knew what he was doing," Vigil said.

Obas argued that Kang should be given probation because he needed to use his knowledge and experience to treat people.During the sentencing phase on Thursday, Vigil testified, as did Kang's ex-girlfriend.About five years after the sex assault charge, Kang was charged with aggravated assault of a family member. Zimmer said Kang chased the woman, who was nine months pregnant at the time, around with a butcher knife.Months later, in 2022, Kang was also charged with another sexual assault.
