NEW YORK - Jurors in the trial of Keith Raniere, founder of the cultlike Nxivm organization who faces sex trafficking charges, are expected to hear testimony on Thursday from a former prominent member turned self-described whistleblower.
His appearance comes after the trial’s first witness, one of Raniere’s alleged victims, tearfully testified that the Nxivm leader forced her into an unwanted sexual encounter after declaring himself her “grand master.” Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo has argued to jurors that members joined voluntarily and were never forced to do anything against their will.
Earlier on Wednesday, a former Nxivm and DOS member, Sylvie, who was identified only by her first name, told jurors she was recruited as a “slave” to another woman in the organization. Her “master” eventually ordered her to engage in sexual activity with Raniere, who also took nude photos of her.
Is this the case from the wealthy Bronfam daughter, or Jeffrey Epstein?
