Yes, it is a form of seduction. It happens in the church as well. I know people who gave their rent money and utilities money to pastors promising "favor" from God. I also know women who sat on the front pews that were mistresses promised that their affairs with the "man of God" was not a sin but a blessing. I have plans to see this documentary. I saw two on NXIVM. People are just trying to heal and live fulfilled lives and these predators take advantage of that.
