'Voodoo Rapist' Gets 8 Years in Prison for Tricking Underage Girls Into Having Sex With Him

Seems like a simple enough scam: convince people you practice the ancient art of voo-doo. Then, when you're in the mood for sex, convince underage girls that bad things will happen to them--via vooddoo, of course--if they DON'T have sex with you. Brilliant, huh? Oh, and you don't have to move to some third-world country for this scam: chicks in New York will apparently fall for it. Here's more from Fox News:

A 51-year-old New Yorker who claimed to practice Voodoo has been sentenced to eight years in prison after telling underage girls that bad things would happen if they refused to have sex with him. Hector Aviles of Yonkers had pleaded guilty to second-degree rape.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore says Aviles told three girls, ages 16 and 14, that he could help them with such problems as boys and parents if they engaged in a sexual "ritual" with him. He warned that if they backed out, he would make bad things happen to them and their relatives.
