The mother of six girls accused of gifting her children to a man who married one and engaged the rest in sexual activity with other girls, says she sees the man as a prophet and believes he was following God's direction

Lee Donald Kaplan, 52, is on trial in Bucks County on numerous charges of rape and sexual assault.

Police arrested Kaplan at him home in Feasterville, about in June 2016 after receiving a complaint about the health and safety of numerous children in the home.

It was discovered by the police that 11 girls were living there. Kaplan told police that he fathered the two youngest children.

Investigators also revealed that the others were the daughters of a couple from Lancaster County who had broken away. Police say the girls' father told them that he and his wife gave one of their daughters as gift to Kaplan after he helped them financially.

The mother of the girls said that she and her family see Kaplan as a prophet. She admitted that the two older girls were sent to live with Kaplan in 2009 when they were evicted from their home, it was then that they promised Kaplan that their second oldest daughter who was 9 years old then would be his wife but not until she is 18 years old before they would start having sex.

According to Lancaster Online, the mother testified she was surprise when she found out in 2013 her oldest daughter, 14 at the time, was pregnant with Kaplan's child. 

"As we all well know and understand, we're familiar with [Kaplan] and his ways, and we understand that he's always motivated to follow the leading of God," the mother reportedly testified.

The mother said she too eventually moved in with Kaplan as one of his wives, Lancaster Online reports.

Kaplan reportedly believed his relationships with the six sisters were dictated by God through dreams, reports Philly.com. The mother testified when she saw Kaplan taking her daughters to bed, she believed he was teaching them how to live in the outside world and that it was meant to be.

Deputy District Attorney Kate Kohler argued that Kaplan "brainwashed" the family seeking "power, manipulation and control." "Six children became his victims. Six children became his sex toys," Kohler said Wednesday.

The parents were convicted of child endangerment and are awaiting sentencing.
