Thanks for the pings. The article is by Sarah Edmunson, who was one of the first slaves to go public with her pubic brand.
The salacious texts came out in court testimony during the trial a few months ago.
Yes, Raniere used his slave to recruit and groom other slaves, all of which would be in thrall to him.
An associated bit of evidence at the trial was that he envisioned a pyramid-like recruiting structure that would ultimately result in (he estimated) at least three million women all loyal to him.
He organized his slaves with their own ‘pods’. Each slave in a slave pod would recruit their own slaves and work toward getting their own pod.
This stuff and worse from the trial coverage are found in the NXIVM update links on my FReeQ homepage.
“pods” ....interesting. Bet the rest of the Cabal operates in this fashion
