U.K. Sci-Fi Sex Slavery Cult

Acting on a tip that a woman was being held against her will, UK police discovered a sex slavery cult based on a series of 1960s science fiction novels. Amazingly, the books in question have nothing to do with L. Ron Hubbard. Members of the group, known as Kaotians, follow the Chronicles of Gor novels which describe a society where women are slaves. Kaotians are apparently a splinter group of a larger Gorean sect that counts some 25,000 devotees worldwide, a number that should really be in the single digit range.
