Nxivm sex cult co-founder Nancy Salzman sentenced to prison
8 September 2021
Nxivm co-founder Nancy Salzman has been sentenced to over three years in prison for her role in the suspected sex cult.
She pleaded guilty to racketeering offences in 2019. Investigators say Nxivm was a sex-trafficking operation disguised as mentoring group.
Salzman, 66, admitted in court to stealing the email addresses and passwords of Nxivm critics.
The group's spiritual leader, Keith Raniere, was sentenced to 120 years in prison in October 2020.

(9,895 posts)1. While happy to see bad people suffer the consequences of their crime...
I can't help but draw parallels from cults like Nxivm to the modern GOP and wonder why the fuck are the prosecutions for people like Trump, Gaetz, and the January 6th domestic terrorists taking so goddamn long to work through?

Plead guilty in 2019 and sentenced in 2021.
So I don't think this happened quickly.

And she gets three?
Wasnt she an accessory to his horse shit?

(1,898 posts)5. 3 years... I guess at 66 that's something at least.

(61,694 posts)6. 3 years isn't enough, IMO.
I don't care if she cooperated. She was a psychologist or something, and she helped Raniere create this manipulative brainwashing program.
