A Bluefield man, who claims to be a “warlock,” was arrested for sexually assaulting children. Our heart aches for the innocent kids who were hurt and their families.

James Irvin allegedly used his spiritual beliefs to lure the children to him. He claimed that in order for their mother to be healed, they needed to be sexually assaulted by him. It is always appalling when children are abused, but even more so when spiritual beliefs are used as an excuse. 

We are grateful for the detective on this case for reaching out to potential victims in Texas, where Irvin lived before moving to West Virginia.

We hope anyone who saw, suspected or suffered abuse by Irvin will immediately call law enforcement and start healing.
