Hypnotist Sentenced for Abusing Teen-Agers
A judge sentenced a Briton to 11 years in prison for hypnotizing two teen-aged girls and then filming himself sexually abusing them.
“There is no doubt you are sexually perverted, sexually depraved and have been so for a considerable number of years,” Judge Peter Fallon told businessman Nelson Nelson on Thursday.
Nelson, 57, was caught after a video he filmed with the two girls at his restaurant in southwest England was shown to police.
Nelson, who learned the art of hypnosis while living in Africa, kept a list of more than 100 sexual conquests in the 1960s.
