Ex-priest who ran rave-inspired ‘cult’ group found guilty of rape and indecent assault | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

A former priest who ran a rave-inspired “cult” group has been found guilty of rape and four indecent assaults. Christopher Brain was leader of the Nine O’Clock Service (NOS) between 1986 and 1995 and used a “culture of fear” to sexually abuse women. The Sheffield-based evangelical movement, part of the Church of England, combined rave culture with Christian worship. The “vibrant church” services for young people included a live band and light shows – but the group became a cult with Brain at the centre, Inner London Crown Court was told. The priest had a so-called “home base” team, known as the “Lycra Nuns”, to care for him and his wife and daughter at home, the prosecution said. He was previously convicted in August 2025 of 17 counts of indecent assault against nine women and found not guilty of another 15 charges of indecent assault. A retrial was held for four further counts of indecent assault and one of rape, which the previous jury were unable to reach a verdict on. Brain, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, …
