From the most recently revised Q video from Joe M. Any ideas what that refers to?
Nice! Thanks, Anon.
The 30-page, 11-count indictment filed this week honed the government's case against the remaining defendants, adding the sexual exploitation and child pornography charges. One of two racketeering counts in the indictment lists 14 separate criminal acts, ranging from conspiracy to commit identity theft to money laundering.
The new indictment also includes the initial charges leveled against the defendants last year, including extortion, sex trafficking, harboring of aliens for financial gain, forced labor, various conspiracy charges and wire fraud. The indictment seeks forfeiture of a Halfmoon townhouse that Raniere had called "The Library" and allegedly used as his private "sex lair," as well as more than $520,000 in cash that was seized last year from Nancy Salzman's Halfmoon residence.
According to a person familiar with the case, Salzman's attorney Robert Soloway did not inform Raniere's attorneys that Salzman would be pleading guilty before the news was first reported Tuesday afternoon by the Times Union.
The charges allege some of the defendants took part in recruiting and grooming sexual partners for Raniere, and of using "harassment, coercion and abusive litigation to intimidate and attack perceived enemies and critics of Raniere."
A court filing from prosecutors on Tuesday outlined how Salzman and other co-defendants "were aware of and facilitated Raniere's sexual relationships with two underage victims … (including) a 15-year-old girl who was employed by Nancy Salzman and who — 10 years later — became Raniere's first-line 'slave'" in a secret club he had created to groom women to have sex with him.
The new indictment said Raniere's illegal sexual contact with one of the minors — identified only as Jane Doe 2 — took place in 2005.
Prosecutors contend Raniere had formed the secret club, known as "Dominus Obsequious Sororium," which means "Master Over the Slave Women." The women in the group, they said, were lured into the club by other female NXIVM members — including Mack, who considered Raniere her "grand master."
According to the charges, the women were required to provide "collateral" — sometimes damaging information about family members or close-up photographs of their genitalia — in order to join. If they tried to leave, they were threatened that their collateral would be released.
While Raniere's attorneys have characterized the allegations of his sexual relations with the 15-year-old girl as "inadmissible, unreliable, rank hearsay," prosecutors countered that their evidence includes "dated images of the victim, constituting child pornography, that were created and possessed by Raniere and electronic communications between the victim and Raniere reflecting their sexual relationship and indicating that it began when she was 15 years old."
"As to Raniere's relationship with the second victim, the evidence demonstrates how members and associates of the enterprise were directed and expected to recruit and groom sexual partners for him … (and) the government intends to introduce direct evidence, including witness testimony," the filing states.
