– using spells and rituals, the man convinced the woman that she and her family were cursed and that he could remove the curse for a sum of money

– the woman paid approximately $14,000 for various services

On Tuesday, November 27, 2012, at approximately 12:45 p.m., Gustavo Valencia Gomez, 40, of Mississauga, was arrested.

He is charged with:

1) Fraud over ($5000)

2) Pretending to practice witchcraft

3) False pretenses over ($5000)

4) Possession of proceeds of crime

He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, December 28, 2012, at 1 p.m., at 1000 Finch Avenue West.
