However, there are also several reports regarding his conduct available online which accuse him of including sexual practices into alleged indigenous ceremonies. As a rule of thumb, any ceremony offered including such practices may be written off as a fake. Additionally, Maez seems to employ such practice to control his students resp. church members, not only by causing shame, but also by alienating them from family and friends in the course of time. Reports particularly mention alleged rites including homosexual activities among and with his students with the claim of their need to overcome homophobic notions and inhibitions. Other reports also mention Maez planned to engage in sexual activities with girls under age.<ref>http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1440.msg22672#msg22672 </ref> <ref>http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1440.msg22679#msg22679 </ref>
