NXIVM co-founder pleads guilty as it’s claimed sex slave cult leader Keith Raniere raped underage girls for years
THE woman who co-founded the twisted NXIVM sex cult broke down in tears as she pleaded guilty to racketeering.
Several women, including ex-Smallville star Allison Mack and Seagram liquor heir Clare Bronfman, allegedly helped run the operation and are awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. But she admitted that she later lost her way when she joined efforts to spy on perceived enemies seeking to expose the Albany-based group as a cross between a pyramid scheme and a cult."It has taken some time and soul searching to come to this place," said Salzman, choking back tears.
Salzman, a registered nurse who was known as "Prefect" within NXIVM, was involved in stealing identities of the group's critics and hacking into their email accounts from 2003 to 2008, prosecutors said. In a statement on Wednesday, defense attorney Marc Agnifilo denied the new allegations and questioned the timing with his client nearing trial on other charges.Madeleine McCann is alive & was taken by traffickers claims Netflix docNEVERENDUMStudent mum's heartbreaking bucket list - including sex under the starsCAGED FOR LIFERaniere, 58, was arrested in Mexico in 2018 and is being held without bail in Brooklyn on sex-trafficking charges.
