There were a number of major developments in the case against six members of Nxivm on Wednesday, starting with a guilty plea from on the individuals on trial.
Nancy Salzman, the woman who co-founded the group with Keith Raniere, broke down in tears as she entered a guilty plea to one count of racketeering while apologizing to her daughter and co-defendant, Lauren.
She said that it took a great deal of soul searching to arrive at her decision, and then struggled to gather herself as she stated: 'I am deeply sorry for the trouble I have brought to my daughter.'
Salzman did this without a plea deal in place and said she was eager to begin atoning for hers sins, with her crime carrying a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
At the same time, attorneys for the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York began laying out their case against the remaining five members of the group, who in addition to Nxixm were also involved in the branded ex cult DOS.
The most shocking claims to emerge out of s memorandum filed in court this week by prosecutors was that Raniere allegedly raped two underage women for years.
Raniere was also in an 'intimate relationship' with Clare Bronfman claim the documents.
One is the loneliest number: Nancy Salzman (above on Wednesday) entered a guilty plea to a charge of racketeering in court on Wednesday, breaking down as she spoke
'I am pleading guilty because I am in fact guilty,' said a shockingly frank and emotional Salzman.
'I got involved with Nxivm because I believed we would be helping people, and I still believe some good came out of it.'
The judge scheduled her sentencing for July, and it is unclear if she will now be testifying against her former co-defendants in the case.
'Nxivm’s teachings and practices are no more inflammatory than the allegations surrounding the predicate acts and charged offenses themselves, which include keeping a woman in a room for nearly two years, nonconsensual sex, extreme diets and sleep deprivation, sexually explicit photographs and branding of Raniere’s initials on women’s bodies without their knowledge,' states the new prosecution filing, submitted on Monday.
Those underage rape claims were revealed in greater detail further down the documents.
That is where is was stated by prosecutes that many people 'including the defendants, were aware of and facilitated Raniere’s sexual relationships with two underage victims.'
The first was 'a fifteen-year-old girl who was employed by Nancy Salzman and who—ten years later—became Raniere’s first-line “slave” in DOS.'
The second was 'a child whose sexual relationship with Raniere was known to, and facilitated by, members of the Enterprise.'
The prosecution also revealed how they would be offering proof of these crimes, stating that they were in possession of 'dated images of the victim, constituting child pornography, that were created and possessed by Raniere.
There is also 'electronic communications between the victim and Raniere reflecting their sexual relationship and indicating that it began when she was fifteen years old.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
