() After federal and local law enforcement raided the home of Los Angeles pastor and talent agent Robert Shinn, investigative journalist Katie Joy says allegations leveled at Shinn are the “tip of the iceberg.”

Joy joined “Banfield” on Tuesday night to discuss the raid of a property part-owned by Shinn, who was the subject of Netflix’s “Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.”

A warrant was issued amid allegations of sex trafficking, alleged tax evasion, mail fraud, money laundering and COVID-19 pandemic-related accusations, according to affiliate KTLA.

“This is a long time coming,” Joy told . “… This is just the tip of the iceberg, let’s just say.”

At least six people were seen detained with handcuffs, but police did not immediately say whether anyone was arrested during the service of this warrant.

Joy said the raided property was in Tujunga, California, and houses members of his church, but Shinn lives at a property in Porter Ranch.

Shinn is the founder of and pastor for Shekinah Church, and founded a company called 7M Films in 2021 “to help social media stars and TikTok dancers find jobs in L.A.,” per The Los Angeles Times.

No charges have been filed against Shinn, but Joy alleges Shinn “has for many years run a cult-like organization.”

Joy also alleges Shinn has changed his name and was previously accused of sexual assault “by no less than six women. Now Joy says, “his current operations leave members of his church more isolated.

“It’s not just dancers that are involved in this. There are invisible human beings that are being labor-trafficked, sex-trafficked. They’re having their entire lives controlled. He is dangerous,” Joy alleged.

KTLA’s Lily Dallow contributed to this report.
