Who is Robert Shinn, ‘TikTok cult’ leader whose home was raided in federal sex-trafficking probe?
Investigators from at least four federal agencies raided a California home Friday linked to mysterious “TikTok” cult Pastor Robert Shinn, the founder of a so-called talent agency that allegedly exploited amateur dancers with promises of TikTok stardom.
A handful of people were led away from the home — located in Los Angeles’ Tujunga neighborhood — in handcuffs, after FBI, IRS, US Postal Service and Labor Department agents swooped in on the residence.
However, it was unclear if Shinn, 87, who has been likened to a cult leader, was among them.
So, who exactly is Shinn?
In 1994, he founded the Shekinah Church, a Christian congregation recently profiled in Netflix’s documentary series “Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult” that initially served as a house of worship for Korean Americans in LA.
