after a wild six-week trial where jurors heard explicit testimony about his polygamous sexual preferences and the many ways he manipulated his devoted followers into performing sex acts or forced labor.
For more than 15 years, Raniere led the Albany, New York, company he founded, NXIVM, which was a purported self-help organization whose participants paid thousands of dollars for various classes and coursework. But prosecutors alleged NXIVM was in actuality a criminal enterprise whose members viewed Raniere as an all-knowing guru and called him"Vanguard.
The"slaves" were branded on their pubic area with a logo containing Raniere's initials, while some were ordered to follow low-calorie diets as they were groomed for sex with Raniere, who was secretly the organization's top"master." Jurors convicted Raniere of forced labor conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which included underlying acts of child pornography possession, identity theft and child sexual exploitation, among others.
In recent court filings, Raniere's legal team has asked Garaufis to sentence Raniere to no more than 15 years in prison while also laying the groundwork for a potential appeal.
