Nxivm founder Keith Raniere has been found guilty on all counts for running the upstate sex cult in which women were branded like cattle and forced to have sex with him.
Jurors in Brooklyn federal court reached a verdict Wednesday after less than five hours of deliberations convicting him of racketeering, a charge that could put him away for life, and other counts.
The seven-week trial included testimony from some of Ranieres sex slaves, who recalled in dramatic detail the self-styled gurus twisted teachings.
Within Nxivm, Raniere ran a secret society called DOS, in which slaves were tasked with recruiting slaves of their own. The women were starved, branded with Ranieres initials and forced to sleep with him or perform other sex acts, according to testimony.
Raniere was also accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl named Camila prior to forming DOS, which stood for Dominant Over Submissive.
Other members of Nxivm were charged alongside Raniere and have all pleaded guilty. They include Nxivm president Nancy Salzman, her daughter Lauren Salzman,Smallville actress Allison Mack and Seagram liquor heiress Claire Bronfman, who bankrolled the group for years.
Raniere who was known to his slaves as Grandmaster and Vanguard did not testify.

The entire case has been met with a yawn, except for a very few.
DOS, which stood for Dominant Over Submissive.
They will be teaching this in schools soon.
Ah, the lifestyles of the liberal elite.
hmmm, looks like i ought to disband my sex cult before it’s too late ....
Put him in solitary in Rikers until he gives up some really big fish.
Well if you are going to start a cult, might as well be a sex cult.
New York will put him in a juvi detention center to protect the, "big fish".
They should ask Kirsten Gillibrand about her daddy’s connection to this group but they wont
Onto the Gillibrands.
Ive said this before
Where did this sick mensch find all these submissive Jewish gals
Ive had my fair share
Not a damn one submitted to anything ...lol
NYT and others have articles about it but oddly enough, they leave out the connections to certain people like Gillibrand.
They will just promise protection in prison and access to the commissary if he keeps his mouth shut. I think he will take that.
Got invited to a party one time back in the day. Didn’t stay long and did NOT participate. Definitely 50 shades of weird.
Weren't the people in this sex cult voluntarily? Were they really "slaves"? Or just cult groupies?
If he's been found guilty of being the Pied Piper of Hamlin, shouldn't the entire democrat party be held to the same standard? How are they any different from this guy?
In prison, he’ll STILL be the center of a sex cult.. he just won’t be pitching.
Just brand them with someone else’s initials so they will take the fall instead of you...
The tentacles reached very far including some famous people. Most of them have escaped criminal charges, maybe or maybe not correctly.
I really don’t know but am skeptical.
“Wait, what ... what are you doing ... NONONO I AM THE TOP HERE!!! ow OWWWWW!!!”
