Salzman testified that she was even branded during a 2017 ceremony. Lauren Salzman, NXIVM 'Slave' Recruiter, Avoids Prison Time After In response to the bad press surrounding NXIVM, Raniere went into damage control mode. If the appeal is successful, Keith will be in the exact same place he was before the trial began in jail, indicted, and awaiting court. The judge were in stopping this and because of this the appeal will be successful and Keith will be free. Selected Courts Given that its almost impossible to imagine how continuing the questioning would have made any difference, I think theres almost no chance this matters on appeal. A My intention was to prove to Keith that I was not so far below the ethical standard that he holds that I was I dont even know how far below I am. I dont know that. Raniere also drafted a public statement defending the existence of DOS while simultaneously denying he had anything to do with it. I think Lauren did an excellent job of clearly articulating things as they were and not getting tripped up by Agnifilo. Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted. At one point, as former NXIVM member Lauren Salzman testified earlier in the trial, she passed a note to Salzman and Raniere, which read, "Let me out, I've come undone." Raniere is currently. Everything they were talking about is stuff that we talked about in DOS and that I knew already when I listened to that, except the fact that there were the seven of them and they planned to stay, the seven of them. Lauren is growing more upset. They were then whipped and paddled with a spiked sex toy, she claimed. Bronfman has asked a federal appellate court to vacate her old sentence and order she be resentenced. Mack, 38, of Smallville fame, was sentenced to three years in prison last month, after prosecutors asked for leniency due to her cooperation. We would take the naked picture, and everyone would take the number of whips commensurate with our failures, she said. Raniere wanted this testimony forever suppressed and sealed so that no one would ever know what he and Salzman had admitted or lied about under oath. Parlato has been prominently featured on HBOs docuseries The Vow and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discoverys The Lost Women of NXIVM. In addition, he was credited in the Starz docuseries 'Seduced' for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS. A Well, yes. Agnifilo even said at one point she didnt have to answer a question when the objection was sustained, he was actually being helpful to the DOJ and lessening the stress on Salzman. Thanks. Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premieres on May 22, 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Parlato,_Jr. The account of Ranieres arrest capped off the highly revealing direct testimony of Salzman, who has pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. Among the. Cult Education Institute :: Group Information Archives Q And one thats one of the things that you went through; right? You had plenty of if you had other things to say, you could have gone on and said them. Its clear she wasnt totally deprogrammed yet. She has said that she deeply regrets introducing her daughter to Nxivm and Raniere. Nxivm co-founder Nancy Salzman says she doesn't deserve prison Q Did you intend to commit extortion at the time that you did it? Oxygen Insider is your all-access pass to never-before-seen content, free digital evidence kits, and much more. The trial transcripts offer by far the most gripping (and soul-crushing) account for sure. After providing collateral in the form of embarrassing documents and explicit naked photos, Salzman became what she referred to as a first-line slave of the group, or a member of DOSs innermost circle, reporting directly to Raniere, along with Junco, Mack, Clyne, and four other women. Nxivm Member Avoids Prison After Helping to Convict Sex Cult Leader Q And you said that Kristin told you, and a group of people, that she brought Daniella over the border. Lauren Salzman, 42, is a cooperating witness in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial of NXIVM's founder, Keith Raniere, who has pleaded not guilty on all counts. Raniere had fled to Mexico the year before, following a damning New York Times report that he was the grandmaster of DOS, a NXIVM offshoot and secret all-female sorority of masters and slaves. Allegedly run by Raniere, the group reportedly had branded women, forced them to provide collateral in the form of explicit naked photos, and coerced them into having sex with him. Bummer Let me know if you find them at some point- and thanks! He is in every sense a hypocrite. Its better than any book. Isnt the world better off without a Ratchild? A No. A I knew they had a relationship. And also I mean, I knew it because when I joined DOS there was something that had been created over a period of time that seemed pretty extensive. . Salzmans crying and sobbing is because she was realizing how bad she f*cked up and will now pay for it while being questioned, although the judge may instead invite her to lunch. A top "slave master" in the alleged sex cult Nxivm said in testimony on Friday she herself was sexually and psychologically enslaved by Keith Raniere, . a fish hole. So this is how I understand it-. It was not interrupted and wasnt getting anywhere with Lauren. I lied to everybody. there is going to be the part of DOS that other people know and then theres going to be this other secret sex part of DOS where were going to get slaves to pleasure us that was not what I signed up for. THE COURT: Asked and answered. AGNIFILO: Judge? Prominent NXIVM cult leader Lauren Salzman avoids jail time after A The conversations sound different to me now than they did before and so I dont hear them the same way and thats difficult. Get an all-access pass to never-before-seen content, free digital evidence kits, and much more! Formerly one of NXIVMs most loyal capos, an exhausted-looking Salzman recounted decades of her emotional manipulation at the hands of Raniere, a self-described genius who once held such sway over his followers that they believed he was able to control the weather. Raniere had fled to Mexico the year before, following a. that he was the grandmaster of DOS, a NXIVM offshoot and secret all-female sorority of masters and slaves. Allegedly run by Raniere, the group reportedly had branded women, forced them to provide collateral in the form of explicit naked photos, and coerced them into having sex with him. Like Allison Mack, she pled guilty to racketeering & racketeering conspiracy. Sorry. Apparently emboldened by her demonstration of loyalty, Raniere once again brought up the idea of fathering a child with Salzman, accompanying her to doctors office visits so she could receive fertility treatments. Her mother Nancy Salzman, 66, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 8. Editors note: You be the judge. Q I think you said on direct examination that you thought Keith changed when Pam passed away? I mean, one of my concerns though is that Keith was not being honest with me about what was going on, and he was mischaracterizing things and making promises to me that were influencing my life decisions when I could have gone in other ways and was expressing that I wanted to. She has described, both in her court testimony and in the HBO documentary The Vow, the emotional. the part about her leaving suddenly I had conversations with Keith quite some time before she left where he wasnt sure he should spend time developing a close relationship with his son because of Kristin, and that if at some point he got close to Gaelyn, there might be some rift or separation between them that would be damaging to his son, so I think he foresaw that. TRANSCRIPT of Proceedings as to Keith Raniere, Allison Mack, Clare Bronfman, Kathy Russell, Lauren Salzman, Nancy Salzman held on September 18, 2018, before Judge Scanlon. But what was more troubling is not that they had a relationship it was Keiths consistent misrepresentations of things he made promises to me that I gave up real other opportunities of things that I wanted and he knew that I wanted, and he didnt fulfill those promises Keith said, in the curriculum, that ultimately we want to make our words so strong, like so strong that when we tell people we will do something, it will be done. On Friday, Lauren Salzman, 42, took the stand in the trial against Keith Alan Raniere. During that period, Salzman acted as Danis only liaison with the outside world, delivering apologetic letters that she wrote to Raniere few of which, Salzman testified, he actually read. A I felt insecure about it, but that wasnt what was troubling to me. AGNIFILO: I am not trying to argue with you. And you betrayed us. If you read through the transcript, news articles and asked anyone at the closing arguments, your Vanturd is guilty without Salzmans testimony. I haven't purchased any additional transcripts from PACER. Everyone rises for the jury. [] he halted her cross-examination at the Raniere trial because she was sobbing on the stand. She avoided jail time and was sentenced to time served, five years. I thought she made it very clear she gave a very reasonable and lucid statement, I think its in Part 5 of the transcriptabout why she decided to plead guilty. Lauren Salzman, 'First-Line Master' in NXIVM Cult, Avoids Jail Time Lauren Salzman sentencing: NXIVM cult leader who recruited slaves She has been on the stand for hours. This is especially true where, as here, there was not a pending question (here, the witness was allowed to answer the last question).
