NEW YORK, June 6 - The founder of OneTaste, a sexual wellness company that claims to teach "orgasmic meditation", has been charged with forced labor conspiracy, federal prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Prosecutors in the New York City borough of Brooklyn said the defendants also subjected OneTaste members to surveillance in communal homes, instructed them to engage in sex acts for "freedom and enlightenment," and failed to pay promised wages. In a statement, OneTaste CEO Anjuli Ayer said the company had cooperated with prosecutors, and the charges were unjustified because of "OneTaste's culture of individual empowerment, choice and consent."
