'These things started to become scary to me,' Lauren Salzman testified.
A high-ranking member of the secretive cult NXIVM described how members were paddled, whipped, and forced into a brutal drills, including being locked in a cage, as they were trained to become"sex slaves" to their master, Keith Raniere.
Salzman, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in March, testified about how the women who were targeted to serve as"slaves" were often subjected to a barrage of sadistic treatment, including being paddled and whipped with a leather strap. One woman was kept in a room for two years under the threat that she be sent back to Mexico if she didn’t comply with the group’s demands, Salzman testified.
She said she had “mixed feelings” about the photographs and justified making good on the request by telling herself it was “just about vulnerability.” Salzman said she responded by saying she’d do anything to make that happen and that she was “fully committed to my growth and fully committed to you."
