NYC Judge: Max Sentence for 'Satanic' Cat Killer
19 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Rapper accused of sacrificing a cat in a satanic ritual.
- Judge will only approve plea deal with maximum sentence.
- Accused rapper threatened a second 'live sacrifice' event.
A New York City judge has set strict conditions for a plea deal concerning an aspiring rapper accused of a satanic ritual involving a house cat. Bronx Judge Linda Poust Lopez indicated she would only approve a deal if the defendant, David Mosley, accepts the maximum prison sentence for animal cruelty.
Mosley, who goes by the alias Church of Ububal, allegedly sacrificed the cat on October 16 as part of an online stunt. He had also ominously promoted a second "live sacrifice" event for Halloween night, urging followers to "grab popcorn."
Authorities arrested Mosley on charges including aggravated cruelty to animals. Animal rights activists confronted him outside the courthouse, while veterinarians worked to prevent him from acquiring new animals. The animal cruelty charge carries a two-year sentence, and activists argue for the maximum penalty due to his alleged psychiatric history.
