A Brooklyn federal court sentenced NXIVM co-founder Nancy Saltzman to 42 months in prison on charges of conspiracy to steal personal data, AP reports. She will also have to pay a fine of $ 150 thousand. In addition, Salzman agreed to confiscate $ 500 thousand in cash, several real estate objects and a Steinway piano.
Nancy Saltzman was granted a grace period until January 19 as she looks after her sick mother. At the trial, the 67-year-old woman said she had fallen under the spell of NXIVM leader Keith Ranier and apologized to all those affected by her actions. “I don’t know if I will ever be able to forgive myself,” she said.
For more than 20 years, the NXIVM community (read as “Nexium”), under the pretext of providing “psychological assistance”, has lured women and underage girls into its organization, turning them into de facto sex slaves. It was almost impossible to leave the sect. Community founder Keith Ranieri was sentenced to 120 years in prison in 2020.
