EXCLUSIVE: Babies in black dresses abused while laying in a Pentagram, drinking cat's blood and Satanic writings on church walls: The twisted confessions of the pedophile pastor from Louisiana who inspired 'True Detective' Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2580388/EXCLUSIVE-Babies-abused-laying-Pentagram-Satanic-writings-church-walls-devouring-cats-blood-The-twisted-confessions-pedophile-church-pastor-Louisiana-inspired-True-Detective

Writer of hit HBO series this week hinted at a sick pedophile ring in Louisiana as inspiration

Just like the series it involved a church pastor, a corrupt deputy, Satanic rituals and even shares names 

Pastor Louis Lamonica Jr. of Hosanna Church, Hammond, Louisiana, confessed to being the head of a Satanic ring in 2005. At the time police feared up to 25 children could have fallen victim

MailOnline has seen his spine-tingling confession to the crime in which he claimed he was one of six who took part in the abuse

But at his trial his defense said he confessed falsely because he was under the spell of a charismatic woman denounced as a 'false prophet' who wanted to take over the church

At 1.15pm on 16 May, 2005, Pastor Louis Lamonica Jr strolled into Detective Stan Carpenter’s office in Livingston, Louisiana and made his confession. What he had to say ‘floored’ the detective. 

The pastor of Hosanna Church in nearby Hammond claimed he had performed satanic rituals, child abuse and animal sacrifice in the church and that he was not alone. 

He named his fellow perpetrators and he named their child victims. It marked the beginning of the Hosanna Church Scandal and exposed a vicious pedophile ring in a case whose shockwaves reverberate in Lamonica’s former parish of Tangipahoe to this day.

Twisted:  Austin Trey Bernard was known as 'The Mastermind' of the cult, and used his one-year-old daughter in a sick ritual: a cat was killed and its blood was spilled on the child. His wife Nicole  called the sheriff to spill the beans on the cult just two days before Lamonica made his confession. She was charged with two counts of aggravated rape but charges were dismissed.
