NXIVM sex-trafficking case against self-help group could expand
A federal prosecutor says there could be more criminal charges brought against the leader of a purported self-help group who’s accused of forcing women into having unwanted sex.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza also told a Brooklyn judge at a hearing on Thursday that it’s possible more people could be charged in the investigation of Albany, New York-based NXIVM and its founder, Keith Raniere.
Raniere and five other people are facing sex-trafficking and other charges. They include television actress Allison Mack and Clare Bronfman, heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune.
