US man sues psychic who promised to remove ex-girlfriend’s ‘witch curse’

A US man is suing a psychic who said she could remove a curse on his marriage put there by a witch hired by his ex-girlfriend.

Mauro Restrepo claims the clairvoyant had promised he would be happy again if he paid her US$5,100 to exorcise the spell.

But after forking over a hefty down payment, the Los Angeles man saw no improvement in his fortunes, court papers say.

Now he is suing the soothsayer for fraud, and seeking US$25,000 in damages.

Restrepo says he sought out Sophia Adams, who bills herself as a “Psychic Love Specialist”, to help improve his lot during a period of discontent.

“This bad luck was, according to (Adams), placed on (Restrepo) by a witch hired by his ex-girlfriend,” the suit filed in a Los Angeles court says.
