It is time for the third and final round of asking:
What About NXIVM?
Part 3 of this cluster of chaos. This is the final discussion about the insane cult...NXIVM. Keith Raniere did not get sentenced to 120 years and given a $1.75 million fine for nothing. Vanessa has reviewed it all (Heather busted out some Wikipedia to support it...how they do) from podcasts to documentaries to books and shows, she has watched it all...okay, except the Lifetime movie...it was just too much.
The third installment is focused on the downfall of NXIVM. It is unheard of that a cult is taken down by exiting members and is prosecuting by the government. We review all the players and the hero WOMEN who stood up to Keith and put him in jail. The court case set a precedent for prosecution of future sex crimes incuding the trial against R. Kelly.
See below for all the media referenced and use to facilitate the discussion. Remember kids, it's okay to aim to better yourself this year, just don't join a cult!
