Police deem porn-addicted bible camp worker’s exorcism of bleeding child ‘legal’

Police have said they will not be charging a Bible camp worker who performed an exorcism on a bleeding teenage boy.

Carlos Doerksen (who also goes by MacIntyre) worked over the summer as a counsellor at the Redberry Bible Camp in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) launched a probe after an alleged incident on July 13 involving Doerksen and three boys.

A Government official told CBC that it took place inside one of the camp's cabins, where two children saw another (thought to be around 14) in medical distress, twitching and bleeding from the nose.

The pair went to get help, which is when Doerksen decided to perform an exorcism on the boy. Afterwards he allegedly handed them business cards.

Parents sent images of the cards to CBC. Alongside his email address and YouTube channel was: "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with diseases and cast out demons."

The RCMP have now stated that no action will be taken against Doerksen.

"Criminal investigations ultimately boil down to two things: gathering evidence and determining whether that evidence indicates an individual committed a crime as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada," Supt. Josh Graham, officer in charge of the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Unit said.

"Practices like the one reported may be concerning to some people, but they are not illegal in Canada.

"We conducted a thorough investigation and did not gather any evidence that would allow any Criminal Code charges to be laid in relation to what the children experienced."

Other details about Doerksen have emerged, including from his Facebook that page goes into detail about a chequered past with addictions to porn and drugs – and that he was fired from a previous job at another camp.

He also said he "physically abused" an ex-girlfriend after a "drunken cocaine party" before finding God.

Parents have also claimed that Redberry executive director Roland Thiessen and board chair Wayne Dick told them Doerksen had special powers to cast out demons, and that the exorcism was necessary to save the boys.

Doerksen is alleged to have told the boys they must remain in contact with him for the rest of their lives as only he can save them from their demons.

On YouTube he claimed his actions shouldn't come as a surprise to parents, saying: "You should know better if you're sending someone to a camp that has the word 'Bible' in it."

In another clip he described performing an exorcism on a boy who had been "practicing with Ouija" and "drinking human blood".

Dick confirmed to CBC that the camp was investigating the incident. He said: "I’m not prepared to discuss it at this point, I can assure you [the worker] is not at the camp."

Denying some of the claims against him, Doerksen took to social media to write: "Deliverance took place because a child asked me for prayer!!

"I NEVER told any child they had to stay in contact with me for the rest of their lives and I NEVER claimed I was the only one who knew how to ward off demons!! FAKE NEWS!!"
