Samuel Charles Perfilio
Samuel Charles Perfilio (American; legally changed name to Kevin Anthony Brown in 1993 and is also known as John PI or Matthew) is a senior leader of The Family International directly under Karen Zerby and Steven Kelly (and less officially Grant Montgomery). He is partnered to Barbara Ann Emerson (also known as Misty, Joni, or Libertad).
There have been numerous accounts of alleged child abuse and rape by Samuel Perfilio from Family women and young girls. In the early 1990s, Perfilio impregnated a 14-year-old girl he lived with in the Philippines. The girl's stepmother was Perfilio's partner at the time. He later moved with them to The Family's Heavenly City School (HCS) in Tateyama, Japan. This incident was well-known to leaders and the general Family membership in the area.
