Was Oprah's spiritual healer sentenced to 99 years for raping girls and baby trafficking?

João Teixeira de Faria, popularly known as John of God and promoted by Oprah Winfrey as a spiritual healer, was convicted and sentenced to a very long prison term, reported as 99 years or more, for multiple counts of sexual abuse involving women and girls. This conviction is well-documented across multiple sources and widely reported in the media. However, the claim that he was also sentenced or formally charged with 'baby trafficking' is not supported by reliable evidence in the available sources. The baby trafficking allegation appears primarily in less authoritative or sensationalized outlets without corroboration from mainstream or legal records.

Therefore, the core fact about the 99-year sentence for sexual crimes is true, but the baby trafficking aspect remains unverified and likely misleading.
