Keith Raniere: Leader of NXIVM Cult Gets 120 Years in Prison for Sex Trafficking [VIDEO]


*The leader of the NXIVM sex cult has been sentenced to 120 years in prison.

Keith Raniere used NXIVM as a self-help workshop to force at least over a dozen women and teen girls to have sex with him. His alleged crimes are documented in the HBO series “The Vow,” which was recently picked up for a second season.

Raniere was found guilty of federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges back in June 2019, PEOPLE reports.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York announced the sentence on Twitter.

“For both my mom and I, this case has been more than personal,” said alleged victim India Oxenberg, whose mother is “Dynasty” actress Catherine Oxenberg. “It’s also reassured my faith in the justice system which protects human rights and holds not only the perpetrators accountable for their crimes — but also those who financially support and enable them. I hope that this case, and others, such as Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly’s, help to change the laws in the US to protect people against coercion and the abuses of power.”

Raniere’s sentencing comes weels after an heir to the Seagram’s liquor fortune was sentenced to a little over six years in prison for her role in the NXIVM sex-cult.

Clare Bronfman, 41, is accused of using her fortune to silence victims of Raniere. 

NXIVM is a self-described personal and professional development program, which Bronfman first joined in 2003 to help her find purpose in her overly privileged life. She ultimately moved up to the group’s executive board, while female members were allegedly coerced into sexual slavery.

Several women testified how they obeyed their “masters,” and were pressured to have sex with Raniere. They were even branded with his initials as well as those of Raniere’s puppet, “Smallville” actress Allison Mack.

Bronfman, who reportedly spent at least $116 million on the organization, pled guilty to two charges in connection to identity theft and immigration fraud. 

Mack, a co-defendant in the case, pleaded guilty to racketeering charges before the start of the trial.
