But prosecutors pointed to testimony that the girl had a noticeable scar on her lower right abdomen from an appendectomy she had when she was 16. FBI case agent Michael Weniger, who investigated the case for nearly two years, testified the girl did not have that scar in the graphic photos presented in court.
Before the start of the trial, Agnifilo told CNN his client "firmly believes that his ideas are sound ideas, are good ideas, are humanitarian ideas." Former "Smallville" actress Allison Mack and Keith Raniere, the leader of the self-help group NXIVM are charged with coercing women who joined the organization, into becoming a part of a secret sub-group where they were expected to act as "slaves" and engage in sex acts
Several women said they were recruited to be part of what they were told was a "women's empowerment group" within Nxivm. They were told to give damaging personal information about themselves, nude photos or other types of "collateral," before they could hear more about the group, known as DOS. She said she was later tasked with meeting up with Raniere, who blindfolded her and tied her wrists and ankles to corners of a table, and then had another DOS "slave" perform oral sex on her.
