Nxivm trial: Keith Raniere found guilty on all counts in sex cult case
Jury sided with prosecutors, who said Raniere used blackmail and starvation and to force women into becoming ‘first-line slaves’
Keith Raniere, a self-help guru, has been found guilty of presiding over an ultra-secretive society that imprisoned women as sex slaves branded with his initials.
The case established an unexpected link between an organization preaching self-empowerment and an internal, cultlike sub-group dedicated to serving the carnal – and now criminal – demands of its founder.
