A Lone Woman's Fight To Expose Serge Benhayon and his Universal Medicine Cult

Universal Predator is the incredible inside story of Esther Rockett's campaign to expose Serge Benhayon, the multimillionaire leader of Universal Medicine — a female-focused 'esoteric healing' enterprise marketing dubious services like Esoteric Breast Massage.

Esther recounts her creepy first encounters with the former tennis coach and self-styled guru that lead her to investigate his operations and publish her findings online. Her efforts to uncover his lucrative industry of exploitation bring fierce retaliation from his fanatical followers — devotee doctors and lawyers among them — who go all out to shut her down.

When Benhayon sues her for defamation, she struggles with scarce resources, and at times her own ambivalence, to get her defence to trial.

Told in Esther's inimitably incisive style, Universal Predator is a David and Goliath tale for the internet age: a true account of one woman's battle against a patriarchal money-raking cult. A post-New Age MeToo story, it's also a riveting courtroom drama.

No one can predict what will happen when the slippery manipulator enters the witness box at the Supreme Court of New South Wales and faces questions from Esther's veteran criminal and defamation lawyer, Tom Molomby SC.
