Oh this is interesting…
Judge not allowing testimony of "Rhiannon" due to #StatuteofLimitations (3 days before trial, #wtf)
…but that wont keep us from knowing that #KeithRaniere raped her over 60 times when she was 12!

Judge Nicholas Garaufis has ruled that Rhiannon [AKA Jane Doe X] won’t be permitted to testify in the trial of Keith Alan Raniere… the 12-year-old girl who claimed she was raped by Raniere some 60 times in 1992 when he was operating his earlier enterprise, Consumer’s Buyline, Inc. [CBI].
The Albany Times Union first broke the story of the rape of Rhiannon in their “Secrets of Nxivm” series in February 2012.
The judge ruled Rhiannon’s testimony may “unfairly influence” the jury in his current trial. Her alleged rapes occurred 27 years ago and, thus, are well beyond the applicable statute of limitations.
