Activities

Raniere ran NXIVM.[1][2][3]

Investigation

On January 18, 2018, a search warrant was issued for Raniere's email account. The investigation in the US started after NXIVM had worked itself intensively into part of the Mexican elite.[4] Catherine Oxenberg comments on Mexican members of NXIVM:

“The group was composed of Mexico City’s elite, wealthiest, high-society types,” - “The children of four former Presidents of Mexico have been involved with ESP.”[5]

Conviction

On June 19, 2019, after five hours of deliberation, a jury found Raniere guilty on all charges. i.e.

  • Sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography with regard to minor victim "Camila";
  • Sex trafficking of Nicole, attempted sex trafficking of Jay;
  • Identity theft against Edgar Bronfman, James Loperfido, Ashana Chenoa, "Marianna", and Pam Cafritz;
  • Trafficking for labor and services of "Daniela"; forced labor of "Nicole";
  • Conspiracy to alter records for use in an official proceeding;
  • Sex trafficking conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, racketeering conspiracy, and wire fraud conspiracy.[6]

Reporting

Considering that NXIVM ran a chain of daycare centers,[7][8] the commercially-controlled media has been pretty quiet about its leader and founder's conviction for human trafficking
