#ANCORA IMPARO TATTOO TRIAL#
When I saw Keith at his criminal trial last year, he looked so small and powerless. Things I brushed off as nothing, ended up being essential to the case.Ĭourtroom sketch of Keith Raniere on trial. Because I was on the inside of NXIVM for so long and one of the last people to leave, I had a lot of useful information. I turned the drives over to the FBI, working as a cooperating witness for nine months. Now I was left to wonder, what the fuck were they? There were so many things I'd been indoctrinated to accept. When I heard that, I began to question everything about the last seven years of my life: What was the purpose of DOS? What did it mean to be in a master-slave dynamic with ultimate obedience? That fall I discovered flash drives that revealed my DOS brand was not a symbol of the elements like I'd been told. I left NXIVM in the summer of 2018, and moved in with my mom in Malibu.
Still I feel terrible for putting people I cared about in harm's way. None of us could've predicted it would turn into what it did. My biggest regret to this day is bringing people into DOS. The FBI has some of mine, but I believe a lot is still out there, somewhere. To this day, I still don't know where it is. But the people asking for it told me to trust them. We had to give "collateral" to our masters before joining, which I was uncomfortable with. In reality, it was a bait-and-switch scheme that ended up with me being enslaved and branded. The group was positioned as a top-secret internal society providing women with one-on-one coaching. She was trying to save me from something that ultimately turned criminal.Īfter five years, I was asked to join "DOS." Now I see that was so far from the truth. At the time, I felt like she didn't understand me, like she was judging me for joining.

"Maybe we can take the program together?" I asked my mom. Everything they said felt like it was meant just for me. When we went to an introductory presentation, I was blown away. My mom's friend recommended a self-help organization called NXIVM, which was positioned as a course for the entrepreneurially minded. It was 2011, and I'd left college after just one year, unsure what to do next and feeling totally lost. You could say my mom introduced me to NXIVM, but we got into it together.
