Rodriguez was unofficially adopted by David Berg, the group's founder and Zerby's husband, and was given the nickname "Davidito" and often referred to as "the prince". Rodriguez's legal name was changed multiple times as he traveled across the world with Berg and Zerby as missionaries. However, no official adoption by the two ever took place and he was cared for by "nannies", young female members of the group. He was also raised alongside Techi, Zerby's daughter.

Berg later ordered "Davidito" and similar documents that had been created to be purged or references to sex removed, but former members were able to establish its existence by distributing the material via email. Davida Kelley, who lived with Berg from the age of 13, said Rodriguez was sexually abused "[by]
