They'll take the witness stand at the federal trial of Keith Raniere, the one-time leader of an upstate New York group called NXIVM. Opening statements are scheduled for Tuesday.

Raniere has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of forming a secret society within his organization that forced women to have sex with him.The government has been tight-lipped about which women will testify and have asked a judge to withhold their full names at trial. Defence attorneys say that could mislead the jury.
