Quote:STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —A father and son are in jail after a bizarre kidnapping involving exorcism in Stockton.

Deputies said Jose Magana-Farias, 42 – along with his son, Victor Farias, 20 – took his ex-wife against her will, thinking she was possessed by demons.

They arranged to meet up with her at a Walmart in north Stockton on Saturday under the pretense of making the marriage work, according to Lt. Mike Jones, of the San Joaquin Sheriff’s Department.

She willingly got in the car.

Jones said the two believed that she had undergone some drastic changes recently and was behaving very differently.

Magana-Farias and Farias picked up a priest in south Stockton and a second priest at Bay Point before forcing the woman to undergo an exorcism, Jones told KCRA 3.

She was doused with sacred oil and “purified” during a religious ritual, according a deputy’s report.

The victim’s roommate alerted deputies to the kidnapping. No torture was involved and the woman was found unharmed.

The two men are being held in jail under suspicion of kidnapping, conspiracy to commit a crime and false imprisonment.

The priests involved will not face any charges.
