"Hypnotist charged with raping two teens at Lawrenceville home"
[The home was on Stationville Run in Lawrenceville and he initiated 'therapy sessions' in his home]
Man led 'life improvement' seminars; police think there might be more victims."
"Many of Baffa's patients were referred to him by licensed psychotherapists, Spellman said. Baffa is "not a licensed therapist of any sort," Spellman said, though police said he represented himself to patients as a psychotherapist."
The man's name is Carmine Edmund Baffa and he is 52.

Since the news of his arrest, it has come to my attention that there are a LOT of folks needing to "recover" from Carmine. I have started a Google Group for people to discuss their experiences with Carmine: http://groups.google.com/group/carmine-recovery
ReplyDeleteThis is a closed group, only those who've been involved with Carmine directly are eligible to join. It's not for cops or investigators, not for folks just following the soap opera, but for people who knew him who need to talk about it.
I know a lot of the victims myself. If I don't know you, you'll have to email me and explain who you are, how you knew Carmine, and why you want to join. Anyone who wants to join should send email to jpatti@ccil.org
Please spread the word that this group exists to any victims of Carmine that you know.
