    SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) -- A couple who billed themselves as experts on
    the spiritual and paranormal lured young girls into bizarre sexual
    rituals with promises they could end their troubles, police said
    Wednesday.  

    Robert L. Barron and Nancy Ruth Ziegler were arrested Tuesday and
    charged in connection with a Feb. 18 "wedding" ceremony that police
    said was performed by Ms. Ziegler.  

    Barron, who allegedly had sex with the 15-year-old girl, cut her with a
    razor blade and drank her blood, police said.  

    Barron and Ziegler have billed themselves as experts on the paranormal,
    lecturing in the area and investigating unexplained occurrences such as
    hauntings and unidentified flying objects. Police said the couple told
    them the "wedding" ritual was based on a Native American religious
    practice.  

    "I don't think that was any part of a religious experience. I think he
    just liked doing that," said Schenectady Police Investigator Lincoln
    Grimm.  

    Barron, 55, also known as Robin Boston Barron, was charged with two
    counts of third-degree rape, two counts of endangering the welfare of a
    child and one count of third-degree sexual abuse. He remained in
    custody Wednesday without bail.  

    Ziegler, 37, also known as Raspberry Ziegler, was charged with
    endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully solemnizing a
    marriage. She was freed on $400 bail.  

    Grimm said he has received nearly a dozen complaints about Barron.  

    Barron would allegedly approach his victims in shopping malls, tell
    them he is an expert on Native American religion, and obtain an
    invitation to their homes.  

    Ziegler would distract the adults while Barron took the girls in
    another room, Grimm said. "He pretends to go through this Indian chant
    and touches them inappropriately," he said.  

    In the couple's apartment, police said they found pornographic and
    pedophilia books and magazines, publications on voodoo as well as young
    girls' underwear and bottles of urine. Grimm said Barron would drink
    the urine.
