RANIERE STANDS ALONE
BROOKLYN — The details of Keith Raniere's shadowy reign as the leader of NXIVM, which has for years withstood allegations that it was a cult-like criminal enterprise, are expected to be fully revealed at his federal criminal trial scheduled to begin Tuesday in Brooklyn.
Raniere, long known to his followers as "Vanguard," has for more than two decades been a captivating figure after founding the Capital Region-based organization that amassed thousands of followers and pledged to help "humanity rise to its noble possibility." But behind the programs that promised executive success and self-empowerment, Raniere's penchant for manipulating those who believed in him, especially the many women who would become his sexual partners, would lead to last year's collapse of NXIVM.
"Keith has caused immeasurable pain spanning decades," said Catherine Oxenberg, the "Dynasty" star whose daughter, India, was pulled into NXIVM and eventually branded with Raniere's initials. "He has systematically abused and subjugated women. On the other hand, this trial represents closure and vindication for many victims who suffered at his hands. Justice (is) being served."

Guys like this that prey on women, I haven’t much leniency in mind for them. They belong isolated from society.
And once there, DO NOT let them communicate with anyone but very close family members and their attorney.
If possible, monitor everything.
Excellent article by Brendan J. Lyons in the Times Union paper in Albany. From the article:
Crimes: “sex trafficking, forced labor and child exploitation, money laundering, computer hacking of enemies, kidnapping and conspiracy plots, and a secret “slave-master” club. He confined a woman to a room at a Halfmoon residence for 23 months.”
Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman funded a trust with at least $5 million Bronfman faces between 21 and 27 months in prison. I have made mistakes,” Bronfman said.
Allison Mack admitted using threats to force women to join a secret slave-master club. She could face several years in prison.
Wow. Praying the rosary for fifteen minutes every day would have prevented these people from doing major evil and going to jail.
I’ll check that out tomorrow. Thanks for the post.
Keith Raniere is the latest manifestation of Charles Manson. Both Raniere and Manson had two things that made life for them worth living: criminality and sex. The NXIVM cult was involved in an illegal campaign contribution scheme to exceed contribution limits in hopes of obtaining political influence with Hillery Clinton and the inner bowels of the Democrats. It may turn out that pure evil attracts similar bed fellows.
