Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse, organised abuse, sadistic abuse and other variants) refers to a moral panic that originated in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout the country and eventually to many parts of the world, before subsiding in the late 1990s. Allegations of SRA involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of individuals in the context of occult or Satanic rituals.

  • Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse, organised abuse, sadistic abuse and other variants) refers to a moral panic that originated in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout the country and eventually to many parts of the world, before subsiding in the late 1990s. Allegations of SRA involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of individuals in the context of occult or Satanic rituals. At its most extreme definition, SRA involved a world-wide conspiracy involving the wealthy and powerful of the world elite in which children were abducted or bred for sacrifices, pornography and prostitution. Nearly every aspect of SRA was controversial, including its definition, the source of the allegations, proof, testimonials of alleged victims, court cases involving the allegations and criminal investigations. The panic impacted how legal, therapeutic and social work professions dealt with allegations of child sexual abuse. Allegations initially brought together widely dissimilar groups, including religious fundamentalists, police investigators, child advocates, therapists and clients in psychotherapy. The movement gradually secularized, dropping or deprecating the "satanic" aspects of the allegations in favor of names that were less overtly religious such as "sadistic" or simply "ritual abuse" and becoming more associated with dissociative identity disorder and government conspiracy theories. The panic was based on reports from children and adults using therapeutic and questioning techniques now considered illegitimate, with initial publicity generated by the discredited autobiography Michelle Remembers, and sustained and popularized by the McMartin preschool trial. Testimonials, symptom lists, rumors and techniques to investigate or uncover memories of SRA were disseminated through professional, popular and religious conferences, as well as through the attention of sensationalist talk shows, sustaining and spreading the moral panic further throughout the United States and beyond. In some cases allegations resulted in criminal trials with varying results; after seven years in court, the iconic McMartin trial resulted in no convictions for any accused, while other cases resulted in lengthy sentences. Scholarly interest in the topic slowly built, eventually resulting in the conclusion that the phenomenon was a moral panic. Official investigations produced no evidence of conspiracies or the slaughter of thousands of babies and children in bloody sacrifices. In the latter half of the 1990s interest in SRA declined and skepticism became the default position, with only a minority of believers giving any credence to the existence of SRA.
  • 悪魔的儀式虐待(あくまてきぎしきぎゃくたい)とは1980年代に起こった虐待の告発ケースである。しかし現在は多くはモラル・パニックに過ぎなかったと考えられている。 アメリカ合衆国では何万人もの子供達が悪魔崇拝者らによって虐待され殺害されていると考える人が少なくなかった。現在もそのような認識を持つアメリカ人は少なくないが、FBIなどの統計上はそのような事実は認められない。FBIは結局国内で悪魔崇拝者らが幅広く虐待を行っているという事実はないと結論を下している。これはアメリカの特に宗教に熱心な地域社会で広まったものであるということで、悪魔崇拝者のレッテルを貼られた者に対する文字通りの現代の魔女狩りに過ぎなかったといわれる。 1983年のマクマーティン幼稚園事件でもこの悪魔崇拝者らの儀式的な性的虐待が話題となったが、全員無罪となった。また、抑圧された記憶を回復記憶療法により思い出したとされる人たちもこのような記憶を持つ人が少なくなかったが、1990年代に虚偽記憶の問題が浮上し、こういった話がセラピストの催眠により作られた記憶であった可能性が高い事が分かると、多くの人が一般にこういったことが行われているという自説を撤回せざるを得なくなった。

Satanic Ritual Abuse — «сатанинского ритуального насилия») с совершением ритуальных убийств людей и десятками тысяч жертв.
  • Satanic ritual abuse, SRA, är ett begrepp för brott som påstås haft satanistiska motiv. Under 1980-talet och 1990-talet drabbades delar av västvärlden, framför allt USA och Storbritannien, av den så kallade SRA-hysterin, en moralpanik med tron på att hemliga organisationer av djävulsdyrkare bland annat infiltrerade samhället, kontrollerade världen, kidnappade spädbarn med mera. Termen refererar generellt till djävulsdyrkares systematiska kidnappningar av spädbarn och offrandet eller sexuellt utnyttjande av dessa, men innefattar andra påstådda brott också. Under 1990-talet publicerade Kenneth Lanning ett flertal studier vid FBIs beteendevetenskapliga enhet om den grova överdriften angående Satanic ritual abuse. Kenneth Lannings rapporter visade bland annat att kidnappningar av spädbarn och rituella mord på intet sätt var vanligare inom satanismen än inom andra religioner och trosuppfattningar och att det fanns få eller inga bevis på att någon utbredd form av Satanic Ritual Abuse någonsin ägt rum.
