Breaking: Sex cult leader Keith Raniere has been found guilty of all charges. vanessagrigor reports on the end of NXIVM
, focuses on the male con man—the lothario who engages with the aspirations of beautiful, intelligent, and often wealthy women, enticing them to relinquish their bodies and fortunes.the 58-year-old leader of NXIVM, a cult-like organization based for decades near Albany, New York, was one such man, though an unlikely don juan.
Unsurprisingly, Raniere’s rap concealed his deeper motivation, according to the prosecution: having sex with as many women as possible. He was a horny holy man, and far from the first. Raniere’s inner circle was like an episode of; his girlfriends, whom the government said were monogamous with him and numbered about twenty, lived in homes and townhouses in a totally conventional, characterless corner of a nice Albany suburb, sometimes two or more to a house, sometimes alone.
This is the story that a procession of inordinately well-spoken women told in the New York courtroom. One of the central riddles of Raniere’s case is that the women who followed him were almost uniformly extraordinary—beautiful, eloquent, intuitive. Unlike Manson’s Spahn Ranch, where clocks and newspapers were prohibited, in suburban Albany, Raniere’s women moved in the world, aware of culture, trends, movies.
Calorie restriction was a highly effective method of control, particularly combined with the way Raniere alternated adoration of the women as gorgeous specimens of humanity, taking close-up photographs of their labias and vaginas, and denigration, such as putting a video camera in front of his refrigerator to monitor one woman’s meals. Many women also had to ask his permission before cutting the hair on their heads, or pubic hair.
Raniere began making a pyramid scheme of this sex cult, pushing the first group of women to become “first line masters” and recruit other women to be their slaves; all slaves were required to hand over blackmail material as well . Each slave who recruited another slave made a new step in the pyramid, and women had other women as masters, but Raniere remained at the top of the pyramid—the “grandmaster.
