Nancy Salzman worked for years promoting the teachings of Keith Raniere, who was convicted in 2019 of a host of federal charges, including sex trafficking.
Keith Raniere was ordered by a federal judge Tuesday to pay $3.5 million to a total of 21 victims for expenses such as medical services, the value of unpaid labor they gave to NXIVM and the cost of legal fees during his legal battle.
"I did not expect to get a letter from her, and the tone seemed honest and really sad, and also ... like she has seen the truth of who Keith Raniere really is," India Oxenberg said of her former NXIVM "master" Allison Mack.
Allison Mack, one of NXIVM founder and leader Keith Raniere’s top lieutenants, was involved in recruiting women into a secret sex cult within the controversial self-improvement organization.
“I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man,” actress Allison Mack wrote in a letter to those she had recruited into NXIVM ahead of her sentencing later this week.
According prosecutors, audio that Allison Mack provided them served as crucial evidence to implicate Raniere as the architect of NXIVM’s “branding ceremony.”
Isabella Pollok was initially thought to be a victim in the sex trafficking and extortion case involving her college roommate's dad, Lawrence Ray, but prosecutors now allege the pair worked together.
