Accused cult leader “Nature Boy” on trial in DeKalb County, faces 5 charges including (g)rape. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Thursday in a DeKalb County courtroom as Eligio Bishop, called Nature Boy by his followers, goes to trial. Jury selection finished Wednesday. Bishop was arrested and charged in 2022, after a woman and former follower alleged he had raped her and tried to prevent her from leaving in March of that year. Previous coverage from Channel 2 Action News reported that police had him under investigation for several weeks before bringing charges against him.
