EXCLUSIVE: Heartbroken father wins wrongful death lawsuit against Japanese 'death dance cult leader' who made 32-year-old daughter his 'sex slave and plied her with mind-bending drugs' that drove her to suicide
Tibor Stern won a wrongful death lawsuit after a six year legal battle against Katsura Kan, who he accused of driving daughter Sharon to suicide in 2012
Kan is a Japanese citizen who was teaching Butoh, a dance in which students are told to 'wallow in the darkness of their soul' at a college in Colorado
He was found liable by a Florida circuit court in March after he failed to attend a summary judgment via telephone; Damages have yet to be determined
Butoh features slow, controlled movements and is traditionally performed in white body makeup, it also portrays grotesque imagery or absurd environments
Sharon met Kan when she enrolled in the master of fine arts program at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado in 2007
'Kan intentionally and/or recklessly inflicted emotional pain and suffering on Sharon from the day he met her until the day she died' according to Tibor's suit
Tibor claims Kan 'seduced Sharon, abused her physically and mentally, humiliated her, insulted her, and manipulated her'
He added: 'I'm a very loving father and she was my best friend. I know who she was. I know what she became. The man needed to be found guilty'
