(#15) Anton LaVey's Daughter: Zeena LaVey

Conceived as more of a mockery of Western religion than true Satanism, Anton LaVey's Church of Satan quickly became a thriving cult of personality. Despite being hailed as one of the great modern philosophers by his followers, LaVey was always a showman first and guru second.

LaVey's daughter, Zeena, received constant death threats since the age of 13 and backed away from the spotlight as she grew older. In 2002, she founded the Sethian Liberation Movement, a religious body aimed at allowing people to freely learn magic and to offer assistance to ex-cult members.
(#12) Ervil LeBaron's Daughter: Jacqueline LeBaron

Ervil LeBaron was the leader of a polygamist Mormon cult called the Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God. When members of his church defected, LeBaron started ordering their deaths, as well as the deaths of rival polygamist cult leaders.

LeBaron's kids took after him. Six of his adult children, including Jacqueline LeBaron, were convicted of many of the murders.
(#2) Charles Manson’s Potential Sons: Charles Jr., Charles Luther, and Michael

Since murderous mastermind Charles Manson had a tendency to say things like "You’re all my children," it’s been difficult to prove the paternity of several kids he may have fathered. He has three possible sons.

Charles Manson Jr. was born in 1956 to Rosalie Jean Willis. Manson Jr. took his life in 1993.

Charles Luther Manson was born on April 10, 1963 to Leona Rae "Candy" Stevens. Charles Luther Manson's whereabouts are unknown.

Michael Brunner was born in 1968 to Mary Brunner. He apparently lives as an anonymous citizen.
(#5) Warren Jeffs' Son: Roy Jeffs

Roy Jeffs is one of more than 60 children fathered by Warren Jeffs, the polygamist founder of the breakaway Mormon sect FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Jeffs was sentenced to life plus 20 years in 2011 for aggravated sexual assault. His victims were two girls, 12 and 15, whom Jeffs said were his "spiritual wives."

In 2016, Roy Jeffs told CNN that he had been sexually abused by his father. Before he left the church, he was sent to work on a construction detail as punishment. On one of these work details, he decided to walk away from the sect for good.

Jeffs moved to Salt Lake City to work construction. In 2015, he learned how to swim, despite the sect’s beliefs that the Devil controls water.

Sadly, Roy Jeffs passed in 2019 at the age of 26. It is believed that he took his life.
(#9) Aravindan Balakrishnan's Daughter: Katy Morgan-Davies

Aravindan Balakrishnan was a Maoist cult leader who threatened his followers with a supernatural force named "Jackie" that he said would wreak havoc on the world if he were disobeyed. Balakrishnan sought to mold his female followers into an army of women soldiers through sexual degradation and violence.

Balakrishnan also imprisoned his daughter for 30 years. In 2005, Katy Morgan-Davies escaped from her father but had been in captivity for so long that she didn't know how the outside world operated. When she went to the police station for help, she was returned to her father, who continued to brutally beat her for her perceived transgressions. She wasn't able to truly escape until 2013 when another woman helped her get out.
(#7) David Koresh’s Son: Sky Okimoto

Branch Davidian leader David Koresh believed that the end of the world was coming and prepared his breakaway Seventh-Day Adventist church members for the coming apocalypse. Koresh believed he was called upon by God to have many children with his female followers to ensure a House of David. Koresh established that only he could have sex with female sect members.

Allegations of child abuse, statutory rape, and the stockpiling of weapons led to investigations by authorities. When the ATF appeared at the group’s Mt. Carmel compound, a standoff ensued. After 51 days, Koresh, 75 people died, including 25 children.

In 2008, Koresh’s son Sky Okimoto told Good Morning America, "Being the son of David Koresh, yes it was pretty hard. I felt like something was wrong with me because so many people hated my father." He also added, "I'm pretty much at peace with the fact that he existed. Sometimes I look up to him because of his charisma. Other times I think he was crazy."
