Allison Mack Jemal CountessGetty Images Detailed information about the inner workings of upstate New York's so-called "sex cult" continue to be revealed as federal prosecutors pursue cases against its highest-ranking members, including the group's leader, Keith Raniere, who was found guilty of sex trafficking and forced labor charges. An investigative journalist from the Times Union of Albany first exposed the group called NXIVM in a series of features in 2012 questioning its strange sex practices.

A wealthy benefactor of Keith Raniere, the disgraced leader of a self-improvement group in upstate New York convicted of turning women into sex slaves who were branded with his initials, was sentenced Wednesday to almost seven years in prison in the federal conspiracy case. Seagram’s liquor fortune heir Clare Bronfman was taken into custody to begin her 81-month sentence immediately after her appearance in federal court in Brooklyn.

Clare Bronfman has been sentenced to six years and nine months in prison for her role in the NXIVM cult. She pleaded guilty in 2019 to charges related to the notorious group and its leader Keith Raniere, who was also arrested back in 2018. “She used her incredible wealth as a means of intimidation, threat and exacting revenge on individuals who challenged its [Nxivm] dogmas,” Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis said during sentencing in Brooklyn federal court on September 30. The judge also ordered the daughter of the late Canadian billionaire Edgar Bronfman Sr. to pay a $500,000 fine. Five other members of the cult, including Smallville star Allison Mack, are still awaiting sentencing. Here’s 5 things to know about Clare.

Former “Battlestar Galactica” actress and NXIVM member Nicki Clyne is speaking publicly for the first time since Keith Raniere was convicted in 2019 on seven counts, including sex trafficking, racketeering and conspiracy charges, after the self-help organization he founded was exposed as a ponzi scheme and cult that forced many female recruits into sexual slavery.

NXIVM member Nicki Clyne is speaking publicly for the first time since Keith Raniere was convicted in 2019 on seven counts, including sex trafficking, racketeering and conspiracy charges, after the self-help organization he founded was exposed as a ponzi scheme and cult that forced many female recruits into sexual slavery. “It’s very unfortunate the way that the word NXIVM has been applied and is now synonymous with the term sexul cult, which I don’t even know how to define what that is,” Clyne says during an interview with , in which she and four other members of NXIVM are vocalizing their support of the organization.
