Episode 132: A Sex Trafficking Ring Cult
Episode description
The story of the NXIVM cult founded in 1998 by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman has remained in the media ever since details of Raniere’s abusive sex ring emerged. The cult operating as a wellness organization which provided seminars about human potential development, served as a front organization for criminal activity by Raniere and his close associates. Members of the organization which included major Hollywood celebrities, were involved in the trafficking of women at Raniere's command. Raniere’s sex slaves, with one just being 15 years old when the abuse started, were branded with his initials on their pelvises and coerced into having sex with him. So, how does one come to help a cult leader organize and run a sex trafficking ring.
