NXIVM ‘Sex Cult’ Leader Forced 3 Sisters to Get Abortions, Ex-Follower Testifies
NXIVM leader Keith Raniere forced three sisters he impregnated to get abortions, one of them testified on Tuesday.
The woman, identified by prosecutors only as Daniela, told jurors in Brooklyn federal court she realized she was pregnant in late 2006 and under Raniere’s direction, went to an abortion clinic near the self-help group’s Albany, New York compound.
It was the same clinic, Daniela said she later learned, that her older sister had gone two years prior for an abortion following sex with Raniere.
