In the court documents, filed on Thursday in New York District Court, the temple claims that the statue it designed and commissioned in 2013-2014 is a copyrighted artwork, and the version in the show was a modification of that design. The group's founder, Lucien Greaves compared the two works on Twitter.

The temple alleges that the "defendants misappropriated the TST Baphomet [with] Children in ways implying that the monument stands for evil. Among other morally repugnant actions, the Sabrina Series' evil antagonists engage in cannibalism and forced-worship of a patriarchal deity." The group is also seeking an injunction to block Netflix and Warner Bros., which produced the series, from distributing the show.
