Phillip Bradshaw, the husband of Richelle “Queen Shahmia” Bradshaw, went before a judge Tuesday, saying he wants his three children back.

Lee Circuit Judge Isaac Anderson Jr. didn’t rule on the request. He conducted what’s known as a dependency review and continued the case.

The Bradshaws’ children and five others were taken into the custody of the state Department of Children & Families after Richelle Bradshaw, 36, and her cult were arrested in south Fort Myers in January 2000 in a series of strong-arm robberies.

Police said Richelle Bradshaw, who called herself the daughter of God, lived a life of luxury — staying in high-class motels — while her “manservants” committed robberies to support the clan.

Richelle Bradshaw is serving a 25-year sentence for her crimes. Two followers escaped convictions after being declared insane. A third, who testified against Richelle Bradshaw, was sentenced to two years in prison.

Phillip Bradshaw, 41, who also goes by the name “Imanuel,” was the only adult member of the group not charged with a crime.
