Clare Bronfman, one of the top leaders of the alleged sex-slavery
cult Nxivm, has been arrested and is set to be indicted Tuesday,
the Daily Mail reported. Bronfman, the daughter of the late Jewish
philanthropist Edgar Bronfman, is accused of racketeering conspiracy
in the new superseding indictment in the case. The indictment also
accuses Nxium co-founder Nancy Salzman, her daughter Lauren and
Nxivm bookkeeper Kathy Russell of the same offenses. This brings
the total number of arrested Nxivm members to six, with leader
Keith Raniere and his top aide, former “Smallville” actress
Alison Mack, having already been indicted and charged with sex
trafficking back in May. Bronfman and her sister Sara reportedly
poured millions of dollars into the group and moved their moved
their headquarters from Mexico to Brooklyn to be nearer to Raniere
and Mack. Among the criminal offenses that members of the group
allegedly carried out are identity theft, harboring of aliens
for financial gain, extortion, forced labor, sex trafficking,
money laundering, wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
