Here is the Complaint for review:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4421645-Keith-Raniere-Complaint.html
When Allison Mack was released from prison late April on a $5 million bond, she filed an application for an Order of Excludable Delay and entered a plea deal. The new trial date is October 2. Mack informed the court that there was "reasonable likelihood" that negotiations "will result in a disposition of this case without trial." This Application was filed shortly after she entered a plea of not-guilty to the 3 charges she is facing in the case.
The Raniere/Mack Complaint lists 2 former NXIVM members, women known as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2. A woman by the name of CC-1, who was revealed to be Allison Mack in subsequent filings, was Raniere's first slave and provided collateral which guaranteed she would remain faithful to him by providing Raniere with damning material.
CC-1's email was titled "vow 3" and included an attached letter. The letter pledged CC-1's "full and complete life" to Raniere. In the letter, CC-1 used the terms "slave" and "master" to refer to herself and Raniere. Moreover, the letter identified "collateral" to "cement" the vow made by CC-1.
The collateral was described as:
● a letter regarding CC-1's mother and father that would "destroy their character."
● a contract that transferred custody of any children birthed by CC-1 to Raniere if CC-1 broke her commitment to him
● a contract that transferred ownership of CC-1's home if the commitment to Raniere was broken
● a letter addressed to social services alleging abuse to CC-1's nephews
It is not clear if any of the claims made in those letters are true.
Soon, CC-1 was recruiting slaves of her own and filling out the pyramid that Raniere had hoped to create, selecting Jane Doe 1 as one of these wonen.
"The defendant has a decades' long history ofabusing wonen and girls. According to cofidential sources, the defendant had repeated sexual encounters with multiple teenage girls in the mid-to-late 1980's and early 1990's. In one instance, the defendant met a 15-year old girl while he was in his 20's and had repeated sexual contact with her. In another instance, the defendant met a 12-year old girl whose mother (likely Nancy Salzman) worked for the defendant snd began tutoring her. Shortly thereafter, the defendant began having regular sexual intercourse with her, including at his home where he lived with multiple adult sexual partners."
Jane Doe 1 stated that her first meeting with Raniere ended with the leader questioning her devotion but soon, things took a bizarre turn.
The next night, CC-1received a text message from Raniere. She woke Jane Doe 1 in the middle of the night and assigned her to meet Raniere and tell him she would do anything he asked her to do. Jane Doe 1 did as she was assigned, and Raniere led her to a house across the street.
Raniere directed Jane Doe 1 to remove her clothes and msde comments about her naked body. Raniere then blindfolded her, led her into a car and drove her around in a manner that Jane Doe 1 believed he was trying to prevent her from knowing where they were going.
Raniere led Jane Doe 1, still blindfolded, through some trees into what she believed was a shack and tied her to a table. Another person in the room who Jane Doe 1 did not previously know was present, began performing oral sex on her as Raniere circled the table making comnents.
Jane Doe 1 did not want to participate in this sexual activity but believed it was part of her commitment and that if she broke it, her collateral would be rekeased.
Jane Doe 1 said she then began yo frequently have sex with Raniere while also frequently posing nude for CC-1 who on occasion, sent close-up pictures of her vagina to Raniere.

Allegations of Raniere's illegal sexual predilictions are also ouylined in a letter sent by US Attorney Richard P. Donoghue to Judge Steven M. Gold back in March.
Jane Doe 1 testified in front of the grand jury stating that Allison Mack "did knowingly and intentionally conspire to provide and obtain the labor and services of a person...by means of serious harms and threats."
Additionally, Raniere and Mack could be facing human trafficking charges, court documents suggest.
A new filing discussing sensitive evidence from alleged victims mentions "human smuggling, alien laboring, physical or mental abuse towards an intimate partner, stalking, sexual abuse, ir sex trafficking."
The lawyer for Raniere suggested that the defense will argue that the sexual acts between Raniere and his younger fema look e accusers were consensual.
"He believes his innocence, and I'm impressed with his stamins. He has no reason to plead guilty," said Raniere's attorney, Marc Agnifilo. Agnifilo then questioned why the branding of young women was a crime, stating: "There are groups of men who brand themselves. When women choose to brand themselves they become victims?"
Agnifilo closed out his remarks by lashing out at those who are labeling NXIVM as a sex cult. "It's a slogan, it's a label that the government is attacking to conduct to make it nefarious. Women joined of their own volition."
The prosecution also had news to share on May 4, revealing thst more indictments would be coming in the case.

Really horrific stuff, the truth needs to come out about the children.
Buried in the complaint though, is a statement that Jane Doe 1 was an adult when "recruited":
Paragraph 42: https://kek.gg/i/43kWkB.png
As for Jane Doe 2, her age is conspicuously absent, however she did own a car. So, if she was 16 or 17, I think she would legally be considered a minor because there is a crime involved, but I'm not sure how the law works.
Paragraph 57: https://kek.gg/i/mbBR8.png
