New podcast examines nearly a century of control and alleged abuse surrounding La Luz del Mundo, following high-profile convictions and new federal charges

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- reVolver Podcasts today announced Crimen y Justicia, an immersive, Spanish-language investigative podcast that descends into the near-hundred-year saga of La Luz del Mundo—its origins, the machinery of influence around it, and the voices of survivors who have come forward with harrowing accounts. Drawing on first-person testimonies, past journalistic investigations, public records, and court proceedings, Crimen y Justicia explores how a movement founded in 1926 by Aarón Joaquín grew into a powerful institution that some former members describe as exerting absolute control over the minds, bodies, and souls of its followers.

The series traces pivotal moments, including the June 3, 2019 arrest in California of Naasón Joaquín García, grandson of the founder and the church's third-generation leader, on charges related to child exploitation and pornography—news that stunned Mexico and reverberated around the world. It revisits earlier allegations reported in the late 1990s, when a prominent journalist uncovered what he described as a parallel "Vatican" in Guadalajara—an engine of spiritual, economic, and sexual control operating largely among families living in extreme poverty. Crimen y Justicia further examines claims that institutional and political alliances insulated leadership from accountability for decades.

With Naasón Joaquín García's 2022 guilty plea and sentencing on state charges, the church faces its greatest crisis in modern memory. As of September 2025, federal charges have also been brought against him and additional family members, intensifying scrutiny and raising urgent questions about whether this marks the end of nearly a century of alleged abuses. Through the words of survivors, the analysis of experts, and the weight of accumulated evidence, Crimen y Justicia asks a stark question: Is the light finally dimming?

"Crimen y Justicia stands for two things: truth and dignity," said Jack Hobbs, President of reVolver Podcasts. "By centering survivors and rigorous reporting, this series confronts a painful history with clarity and compassion. Our mission is to create a platform where stories that were silenced for generations can finally be heard—and where listeners can engage thoughtfully with the facts."

Across its episodes, the series delves into:

• The 1926 founding of La Luz del Mundo and the consolidation of authority within its leadership.
• The 1997 wave of allegations documented by investigative journalists—accounts from dozens of alleged child victims and depictions of a finely tuned system of control.
• The 2019 arrest, the 2022 state conviction and sentencing of Naasón Joaquín García, and subsequent federal actions announced in 2025.
• The broader social and political context that, for decades, enabled power to go largely unchecked—and the present-day reckoning.

Crimen y Justicia premiers in September 29tn all major podcast platforms. Visit and listen to the first episode here.
