In June 2019, Keith Raniere was found guilty on seven charges by a jury, including two counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and forced labour conspiracy.

Prosecutors seek life in prison while defence lawyers say he should face 15 years behind bars for his conviction on charges including racketeering, alien smuggling, sex trafficking, extortion and obstruction of justice.

Seagram’s liquor fortune heir Clare Bronfman appeared in federal court in Brooklyn.

Amanda Knox, along with NXIVM members, signed a petition demanding prosecutors answer questions about Raniere's case.

A jury in federal court in Brooklyn took less than five hours to find Keith Raniere guilty on all counts of sex trafficking.

Longtime NXIVM member Mark Vicente also testified that women were forced to lose weight.

If convicted, former NXIVM "vanguard" Keith Raniere faces up to life in prison.

Some former members of the group, NXIVM, are poised to break their vow of silence for the first time by testifying against Raniere, who has been compared to a cult leader.

The former 'Smallville' star wept as she admitted her crimes and apologized to the female victims of NXIVM.
