Here’s the first look inside Nxivm guru Keith Raniere’s alleged sex lair.
Videos released by Brooklyn federal prosecutors Tuesday show the accused sex-cult leader’s “Executive Library” in upstate Halfmoon outfitted with shelves of books, whiteboards and computers — in addition to a bed suspended over a hot tub, according to court documents.
Ranier allegedly had sex with at least two of his female “slaves” in the library.
Though the home belonged to Nxivm President Nancy Salzman, Raniere spent much of his time in the expansive second-floor room, which also contained a bathroom outfitted with a sauna.
Jurors seated on the 58-year-old’s sex-trafficking trial were shown the disturbing footage yesterday, in which Raniere makes jokes about bestiality and calling women “piggy.”
In the video, the guru first appears flanked by two women he lived with at the time. The women were identified in court Monday by filmmaker and ex-Nxivm member Mark Vicente.
The woman to Raniere’s left in the footage is longtime girlfriend Pam Cafritz, who died of cancer in 2016. The woman to his right has been identified in court only as “Mariana” and shares a child with the alleged cult leader.
Raniere is accused of heading a secret society within Nxivm, called DOS, that starved and branded women who were coerced into having sex with him.
He’s pleaded not guilty.
