Richard Rodriguez was born into the Children of God cult in 1975. His mother Karen was married to David Berg and the two ran the cult.

David instructed Richard's nanny Angela to keep a book called "The Davidito" accounting Richard's life and the 762 page book documented a life of heavy sexual abuse.
In 2005, when Richard was 30, he decided to take justice into his own hands on one of his abusers, Angela.
