Nancy Salzman, co-founder of NXIVM, a purported self-help group that prosecutors say doubled as a secret high-ranking New York sex cult, was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison.
They also accused her of conspiring to doctor videotapes showing her teaching NXIVM's lessons before the tapes were turned over as part of a lawsuit against the group.
“Today’s sentence holds the defendant accountable for her crimes and we hope that it brings some measure of closure to the vulnerable women who were victimized and abused.” “That is not to say that Nancy did not have the agency or free will, or that she lacks responsibility for her conduct,” the memorandum said. “Indeed, she lives every day bearing and appreciating the full weight of her wrongdoing while she served as Keith Raniere’s collaborator and enabler within the NXIVM community.”
