User:Auric/John Lunt

John Lunt was an infamous go-preacher, of the New Dispensationists, a Protestant sect that believed that they were free from moral law. He seduced several women and girls under the guise of being a prophet.

He stood trial for rape on 29 June 1793, that of Sarah, daughter of Archelaus Hammond. Archelaus was charged with aiding him.

Though they were both acquitted, Lunt fled to the United States, where he published a satirical newspaper known as The Tickler.
