NEW YORK - The founder of an alleged New York sex cult held meetings in which female “slaves” gathered naked on the floor around him while he sat in a chair and lectured them on philosophy, one of the women testified at his criminal trial on Friday.
If convicted of the most serious charges, Raniere faces life in prison. His lawyer has argued at trial that the women became members of Nxivm voluntarily and were never coerced into doing anything against their will. Other first-line slaves included former “Smallville” actress Allison Mack, who like Salzman previously pleaded guilty to her part in Raniere’s crimes. Nancy Salzman has also pleaded guilty.
