Nancy Salzman, who once ran the group NXIVM alongside spiritual leader Keith Raniere - who is accused of grooming female members for sex and branding them - sobbed outside court. 9News
The new charges "serve only to taint the jury pool," Agnifilo said. "If the charges were legitimate, they would have brought them a year ago."
The plea comes about six weeks before Raniere's trial, expected to detail allegations that a master-slave society within NXIVM brainwashed women into having unwanted sex with him and had them branded with his initials in initiation ceremonies. There was no agreement for Salzman to co-operate as part of the guilty plea to a conspiracy charge that carries an estimated maximum term of 41 months in prison under sentencing guidelines.
