The jury was out for less than 5 hours when they reached a unanimous verdict. Guilty on all counts. Guilty on everything. Keith Alan Raniere is guilty.
The lad was led into court by US Marshals. Raniere probably knew – by the quickness of the jury’s verdict – that he was a gone goose. His usually smug countenance was filled with dismay and a discomfited appearance.
He failed. His case failed. The victim witnesses – Sylvie, Mark Vicente, Daniela, Lauren Salzman, Nicole and Jaye persuaded the jury. This was a monster, not a man.
Moments after the verdict was read, the US Marshalls, who have sat in court unobtrusively behind him in plainclothes, day after day, of the long 25 days of trial, slapped handcuffs on Raniere.
There is no more presumption of innocence. No appearance to keep up before the jury.
The man formerly worshiped by his followers as the illustrious Vanguard is now a convicted felon. He is 58. His birthday is August 26, 1960. The sentencing range for his crimes is from 15 years minimum for sex trafficking – up to life in prison.
During the trial, Raniere sat silently, always alert, often scribbling on sticky notes, oft times staring at the witnesses arrayed against him – most of them his former devotees.
Among those testifying for the prosecution were FBI agents and non-DOS victims such as James Loperfido and Rick Ross. There was the longtime confidante of the late Edgar Bronfman – Stephen Herbits – and an expert on sexual assault victims, Dr. Dawn Hughes.
But in the end, it was the women who sunk him. The sympathetic women who to a woman cried over what he had done to them – and how he had destroyed their lives.
Raniere did not testify on his own behalf and chose not to put on a case in his defense. He will be sentenced in September. In the meantime, he’ll be residing at MDC in Brooklyn where he has been held, with other pre-trial prisoners, since April 2018.
But now he’ll likely be housed in the big boys’ section – where those who have been convicted are awaiting sentencing.
Absent some sort of appeal that results in the overturning of his conviction – which seems infinitesimally remote at this juncture – he will spend most of the rest of his life in prison.

Pea Onyu/ Yolanda Cortez
Now you will be free to marry your Vanguard without any other women competing for the honor.
LOL!!
Indeed shadowstate1958…a tough day for Pea Onyu and Yolanda! I guess they’ll have to cancel their plans for Vanguard Week!
Look on the bright side Pea/Yolanda. You’ll be able to prune that overgrown bush!
” You’ll be able to prune that overgrown bush!”
And it’s about time.
LOL
I think the YMCA at Silver Bay will have to find other guests for August 26th from now on. 🙂
HALLELUAH!!! He has ruined so many lives, it is great karma to see his life in ruins! Can’t hide behind the lies any longer!
GUILTY!
Thanks to all who fought this monster.
I’ve taken a few liberties with the lyrics to the Kirsty McColl and Pogues song – Fairytale of New York.I’ll rename it
Nightmare of Albany, New York.
The day we waited for
Longed for so many years
That day has come at last
Despite so many fears
Here’s to absent friends
Those lost along the way
Let’s have a drink for them
On this great Vangone Day
The so-called smartest man
The East Coast Judo Champ
And in torrential rain
He wasn’t even damp
He lived just like a monk
His ethics unsurpassed
That was the legend told
The lie could never last
Any pleasure was fleeting
While the branding was not
Your patented sashes
Were not worth a jot
An avatar baby
The wait was the worst
And the sex disappointed
Even when uncoerced
And the truth was unfurled
Wronged men, women and girls
Those pursued through a court
While justice was bought
And the truth wasn’t pretty
But the critics were gritty
Thanks to all who had grit
Proper justice has hit.
For victims of the NXIVM cult
The party’s in full sway
And the cheers are very loud
On Vangone Day
Racketeer
And a fraud
With a head like a gourd
And your erection problems
Exposed to the horde
No more harem for you
And you thought rape a blast
Now you’re gonna be guarding
Your own sorry ass
For victims of tthe NXIVM cult
The party’s in full sway
And the cheers are very loud
On Vangone Day
Now you’re convicted scum
For smart you’re pretty dumb
And when the cell door slams
Your memories of the past
Are all that you have now.
So Vanguard take a bow
For others, life goes on
And you are now Vangone
For victims of the NXIVM cult
The party’s in full sway
And the cheers are very loud
On Vangone Day.
Bravo! Great song stylings. Thanks to Frank, Catherine Oxenberg, all the brave women who took the stand, and all the fighters for good out there.
Poor (POS) guy. Will some of the readers bake him a cake? I learned from reading about the trial that he likes cake. And I am hoping that in prison he finally finds true love. Who knows, he might have a harem again. But they won’t be long-haired, slim, blondes.
THE GOOD GUYS WON FOR A CHANGE.
Congrats Frank!!! This is a good day for the world!!!!
Claviger you didnt get your 2nd Good Friday….but we all just got one hell of an outstanding Wednesday!!!!! BEST NEWS EVER!!!!! I almost cried for joy for the known victims. What a great day!
I am sure he could have persuaded the jury if he had testified. He is, after all, the WoRLd’s SmaRTESt man!
Wow, this is really going to disrupt Vantard week…
Snorlax!!! We both lost our bets!! LOL
It’s over!!!!!! It’s really over and he is THROUGH. I am so happy!!!!!!
I just watched a video ion the internet about him being found guilty and at the bottom of the video was a ” like” or “dislike” and there were 81 likes and 29 dislikes. The question is ” Who are the people that marked dislike on twitter that he was found guilty.
They’re the ones we need to watch out for now.
Woohooo! Im sure we all feel relief this monster is going away behind bars. I hope they monitor his mail so he doesn’t control women from inside the can. Thank you Frank and everyone else for your role in bringing down this monster. Waaaaaniere will never become humble or realize how disgusting he is. He is the permanent victim who will prove to anyone who can hear that “women have no integrity”. Goodbye you creep. Everything that is happening to you is just your “issue”!
This makes my day!!! Great job to all parties involved. Now, relish in YOUR joy. Viva!!!
Wow! Great News! I hope David Miscavige & Scientology are next
Sandy,
I hate to burst your bubble but unless Miscavige is caught with a harem of women who are branded and blackmailed, he will not be prosecuted even if he should be.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you’re wrong. Again: https://www.tampabay.com/scientology/lawsuit-accuses-scientology-david-miscavage-of-child-abuse-human-trafficking-libel-20190619/?comments
So much for all of the pessimism.
Thank you, Mr. Parlato.
What a moment!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I feel elated!!! At least the rest of this week I will feel better about humanity, about those of us increasingly part of a minority, that feels hard done by those at the helm, those sitting pretty at the pyramid apex.
Snorlax and I have been proven SO wrong but I am convinced s/he’s equally happy to be so!
Maybe not all hope is lost! We can thank the heroes who stared this satanic demon in the eyes unflinchingly, knowing his legal budget was infinitely larger than theirs but having faith in their powers to bring evil to a halt. I am starting to envisage the unthinkable: what if this relatively small group of brave humans will be able to even detonate evil??
I feel regret for regarding jury members possibly not able to grasp case details sufficiently. Maybe there is still hope for us good humans in this world!
Thank you Frank….you achieved your goal!!! Im so Proud of you and all your hard work.
Congratulations to all those that have been victimized by Keith Raniere!!!!
I have never been so happy for a group of strangers in my life.
I hope that this verdict gives all of you some measure of closure.
I wish you all the best!!!!
Cheers!
Bravo, Frank Parlato! BRAVO!
Wow, I never expected it to be today. So fast, glad the jury saw what a monster he is. He’s gonna sleep in a pool of tears tonight. If he *can* sleep. I hope this brings comfort to all he has deluded, mistreated, and used. He will most likely never touch a woman again, and that’s a very, very good thing. So much for being the smartest man alive.
Um, Pee-Pee, your predictions fell flat with a hard thud.
“He’s done! Fucking Asshole!” – Catherine Oxenberg
I’d like to see that as an epitaph carved in stone 🙂
Champagne for almost everyone! At least have a Shirley Temple or a joystick. For the possessed who want to keep drinking the cowardly Raniere Koolaid, try the urine-flavored vat. Blue light special, formulated for slowly boiling frogs.
Slam-dunk, Raniere and gargoyles. Your days of giving volleyball a bad name are over. Oh and people are just fine making love without any supervision from Keith Alan Raniere. Take that to the penitentiary and do the limbo rock for some floor room. It won’t be Avon calling.
Today is a good day.
Good news, indeed!
And a tip of the cap to Frank Parlato, Sarah Edmundson, and all those who helped expose this criminal and his corrupt organization. Well done!
Amen.
For Toni Natale: Orange jumpsuit forever!!!
Wow. Ted Bundy’s jury took 7 hours and 15 minutes to find him guilty in 1980.
Vanguard’s took less than 5 hours.
Viva Executive Success?
Rather “Game Over”
I hope anyone who has been a victim of this fraud gets all the support and help they need to turn their lives back round. Onwards and upwards to you all.
Also, well done to all those who helped convict him.
Bundy was a more physically attractive guy than Raniere and he was charming. Each was worth an hour of additional deliberation with the same guilty verdict.
You won! You did it! Happy tears & get some good sleep tonight!
On another note:
“Barbara Bouchey, a former NXIVM member and ex-girlfriend of Raniere, cried outside of the courtroom when she heard the verdict—and was comforted by Raniere’s attorney, Mark Agnifilo.”
https://news.yahoo.com/nxivm-founder-keith-raniere-convicted-184941736.html
I knew it! I’ve been saying she still has feelings for him.
From what I’ve read, her relationships with men have been dysfunctional, so it makes sense that she would be crying. But, those tears may also have some joy in them, too. The NXIVM 9 were vindicated.
It might seem odd that Raniere’s lawyer would congratulate Bouchey. However, my personal experience of Agnifilo is that he’s a “celebrity lawyer”. He craves attention He wants to be liked by everybody which is a good thing but also a bad thing. I wondered if he was there more for himself than for his client?
However, his loss of the case cannot be put on his shoulders. Raniere had the opportunity to negotiate a plea deal. He did not take it.
I don’t think KAR was offered a plea deal. I think the EDNY knew they could convict him and there was no incentive. Maybe now that he is convicted he could work out something if he can help put the Mexican Mob away….
He consoled her.
I posted it to highlight Barbara’s behavior.
Surely, she was relieved. She has paid the price for her involvement. The past ten years of stalking and litigation abuses. Now she and others can begin to reassemble their lives.
According to all the regular press..she cried tears of relief and CNN interviewed her saying something to the effect that…. she was glad he was found guilty and that she won’t have to keep looking over her shoulder in fear.
Personally, I was surprised by her words, I kinda expected her to be his first visitor.
Just read the CNN article, thank you.
I had assumed the same. It’s great news to read it in context with the additional articles. I want Barbara to move on, feel safe and live her best life.
Just can’t shake a feeling she’d be saying “no one is perfect but see, I told you, Keith is more good than bad” if he was found not guilty.
That fool had the nerve to say in front of the Judge “You can find it (Rainere) repulsive, disgusting and offensive. We do not condemn people in this country for being repulsive or offensive. Unpopular ideas are not criminal! Disgusting ideas are not criminal!”
Can you believe that?
Umm, what’s wrong with him saying that? He’s right.
Martin, You are dead right but as you can see, “some” disagree. They would quickly agree however if you told them (rightly so) they don’t have all their marbles! But that’s the stupidity of the masses, we can never eradicate it. I don’t know whether to regard such humans on par with animals or just consider their lives valueless. 😀
Since you reacted to this so strongly, I’m genuinely curious as to what you think is wrong with Agnifilo saying this to the jury. Do we not convict people in this country based on whether they broke an actual law, instead of based on our personal feelings are for the defendant? The law is the law, but people obviously differ in their ideas about what’s objectionable, disgusting, etc. We have to therefore hold everyone by the same standard – that’s why we have laws to begin with.
He had no choice whatsoever but to say that. The jury was shown and given some revolting, disgusting evidence. The defense lawyer has to acknowledge that but focus on the criminality of the behavior, if any. His goal was to get KAR acquitted, not make him popular.
Like in Return of the Jedi, when the Evil Guards cry after Luke Skywalker killed the Rancor monster.
Boohoo! Our favorite pet is dead. Boohoo!
Frank enjoy the jubilation!!!!!!! You earned it!!!
Justice has been done and this evil psychopath has been removed from society.
He is not fit to move freely amongst us.
He will never again be in a position where he can abuse anyone.
Justice has been done.
Kayla Grosse posted this: https://mobile.twitter.com/KaylaGrosse/status/1141426215875567616 and NXIVM coach Kristin Kreuk liked it. Kreuk too much of a coward to admit her role in the cult, acknowledge its existence or face scrutiny like she’s cut from a different cloth, but has no problems pressing the like button about punishment elsewhere.
such a happy day
Many thanks to Frank Parlato, who worked for years to bring this man before the courts.
Thank you Frank and congratulations.
You won.
Thank you Frank! You’re a hero in that you both brought awareness and didn’t back down but instead provided so many updates that raised awareness; very awesome.
Heidi – I’m sure this moment is bittersweet for you and your family, but congratulations for everything you have done and continue to do for Gina.
hear here
Thank you so much Frank Parlato for helping to bring this monster down. He won’t be able to hurt anybody now!! I hope you are celebrating now, you deserve it, congratulations from Germany!
Frank Parlato = Hero
Sometimes the good guys win…..and oboy this is a huge one. I hope and pray all these woman can pick up the pieces and go on to live a fulfilling life. It’s been a pleasure being introduced to some real life heroes ie..Frank, Joe, Toni, Catherine, Dani and everyone who worked all these years to take this monster down. Frank, your day is next…the government needs to drop the charges against you. They owe you.
As usual, well said, sk.
Justice has been served. Thank you, Frank, for the role you played in exposing this criminal and his criminal enterprise!
The axe came down hard and isn’t done swinging. This doesn’t look good for Clare, Allison, Nancy, Lauren and Kathy.
On 5th May 2015 A guy from Vancouver called Mark Busse, posted to his public Facebook page a message about a NXIVM/ESP five day intensive he did that week.
https://www.facebook.com/mark.busse/timeline?lst=100000210512104%3A650176954%3A1558572449
https://markbusse.ca/

He thanked Lucas Roberts, Mark Vicente and Kristin Kreuk for their “encouragement.”

Mark Busse
May 5, 2015 · Vancouver, BC, Canada ·
“Was feeling blocked and a bit off track lately, so I took Executive Success Programs five day intensive this week (finally).
It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you think you have the mettle, and are looking for something to shake up your world view, this is worth considering. Happy to share my experience if you’re curious.
Thanks to Lucas Roberts, Mark Vicente, and Kristin Kreuk for the encouragement.”
****
He tagged all three NXIVM coaches in his post to their Facebook pages.
The Facebook page for Kristin Kreuk was a joint page she shared with Kendra Voth, who she recruited into NXIVM.
They set up that page during their Girls By Design days.
Link: https://www.facebook.com/girlsbydesign
***
Mark Busse was thanking Kristin Kreuk, not Kendra Voth.
While the name “Kristin” was a link to her shared Facebook page with Kendra Voth, he also typed out her last name “Kreuk” which was not a link.
If you look at the “likes” of that post, Lucas Roberts, Mark Vicente and Sarah Edmondson had “liked” it.
—–
In the comments, Lucas Roberts said: “Awesome watching you dig deep and bust through those blocks Mark! I’m inspired by your courage. Not everyone wants to self-reflect and question things as you did.”
Mark Busse said: ” It was interesting. For realz. And yes, that’s how you spell mettle.”
Mark Vicente “liked” that comment too.
***
At the end of the month, Kreuk was back in Toronto filming the fourth and final season of Beauty and the Beast, which according to Wikipedia was filmed between May 29th 2015 and finished in November 17th 2015 :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_%26_the_Beast_(season_4)#Production
***
The pilot was filmed in March 2012, one month after the Times Union expose that exposed Keith Raniere as a pedophile, an expose Kreuk was named in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_%26_the_Beast_(2012_TV_series)#Production
***
She was still coaching for NXIVM that year:
https://frankreport.com/2017/11/10/i-got-dragged-into-one-of-the-nxivm-classes-about-five-years-ago-and-kristin-kreuk-showed-up/
***
The final season was filmed May-November 2015, with Kreuk coaching for NXIVM the same month filming began.
Kreuk was coaching for NXIVM through four seasons of filming and way past 2013 and the pedophile revelations.
Hopefully MK10ART will see this and can dream up a version of the sultan defending his dream spank Kristen Kruek. He and his word salad blather should show up soon.
Rub a magic lamp and a geenie pops out. Bring up Kristin Crook and spanky takes a short break from rubbing his little lamp to spew his aspergers psycho babble.
email Frank directly so this does not get lost in all the trial celebration, your stalking of KK finally paid off
frankparlato@gmail.com
Saw the post quoted in the links. Indeed, on the person’s Facebook page and Kristin Kreuk’s page, it is all there. Kreuk still coaching with Lucas Roberts and Mark Vicente. Top coaches liked the post. It’s real. Kristin Kreuk is a liar.
now that KAR is toast, time to put the heat on KK, she’s always been the more popular target.
Kristin Kreuk is interwoven in the NXIVM fabric. She is a big part of its history. It should be on record what her role was and the fact she undeniably publicly lied about it.
Just because Kristin Crook was encouraging him doesn’t mean she was coaching him or anyone else in 2015.
What do you think “encouragement ” means? These 3 coaches were involved with his 5 day intensive and we’re thanked for it. Kreuk still pro NXIVM 3 years after pedo expose.
I encourage people to continue their education all the time, that doesn’t mean I’m a college professor.
I don’t see how getting tagged on social media means she was back coaching. Mark Vicente was also tagged, and he was the head of the LA Center – so is that supposed to mean that he was also coaching in Vancouver for some reason? And if she was coaching, why is there no corroboration other than dubious internet crumbs?
Plus Frank’s multiple sources say Kreuk was out in 2013, and that ought to settle it:
https://artvoice.com/2019/04/22/three-former-high-rank-kristin-kreuk-left-nxivm-in-2013/
And I don’t get the obsession with her. If being called to account is the issue, there are more important people, who did more and know more, to call out.
Mark Vicente coached in Vancouver. Lucus Roberts confirmed in the comments he (LR) was physically there. Kreuk named alongside these two. Kreuk was also in Vancouver at the time.
That’s just stringing together suppositions in the absence of any solid corroboration that Kreuk was actually there, and in contradiction to what Frank’s reliable sources say was the case with her involvement. And why no similar, or better yet more concrete, indicators from the years before and after?
If you want to hypothesize or even theorize, have you considered that maybe Kreuk just want back once to do something like get a friend out – or to gather info for the RCMP? That’s in the same realm of possibility….
Three people recruited Mark Busse? Nope. There could be more than one coach at an intensive. Read the link. In 2012, Kreuk showed up on the second day of an intensive. Lucas Roberts said it was awesome watching him on his course. Kreuk was thanked alongside Lucas Roberts.
Anonymaker’s defense of Kristin Kruek is in true sultan word salad mambo jambo. His reference of Franks “reliable sources” have turned out to be unreliable at best.
I believe we have stumbled on yet another Spanky alias trying to influence the group here. Hopefully when new charges are being looked at, Girls by Design is looked into as a source of young girl pedophile grooming for Keith Raniere.
the Girls By Design Pedophile Farm is a very serious crime…so did I miss the testimony in the trial where GBD was brought up? I am sure the jurors where aghast at this and was the reason they convicted KAR so quickly.
Please link to the trial coverage where the heinous GBD was testified to. Or was it in one of the plea deals.
This is serious stuff and even if the Feds had only partial proof they MUST have brought it up in trial, right? right? right?
How about somebody email the guy and have his side of the story? He definitely isn’t a fan of KR and probably not a fan of NXIVM. Probably would let you know KK’s status at the time he took courses. Might even have photos, etc. J/S
It is not fair to say he was not a fan. According to his Facebook page he did not dislike the course. In fact the opposite is probably true. If he liked KK as a coach, and being from Vancouver where she has fans he may not want to say any thing to implicate her.
Well, I was just going by a recent post he made about KR being found guilty. Still he might at least verify if she was one of his coaches or present at the time of his course. Who knows.
Any contenders? Anyone else agree with me?
I get where you’re coming from. I think it depends on a couple of factors. If the prison he’s sent to is tolerable and he can get a prison minion, write to Barb, Mariana, Yolanda, or even prison groupies, no. If it’s as bad as the jail he’s in, he has no friends, the guards are mean to him, he exhausts his appeals, gets sent to the SHU “unfairly” enough, or has life to serve without parole, yes, bet he necks himself.
What if someone else has plans for his demise? He might not be safe for reasons we’re all well aware of. Bet even Sillybrand would like him Arkancided.
There is no parole in the federal judicial system. Whatever his sentence is, Raniere will end up serving about 85% of it – if, of course, he survives that long.
Thank you for the info re parole in the fed system!
And, thank you for all of your work!
he doesnt have the balls to actually do the deed so no i dont see him being THAT noble at all {sorry somebody} but he may not last long in general due to someone else wanting him gone and a few bucks makes it happen just saying
I’m not sure he has the courage. Though it really is his last best option.
VanWhambulance doesn’t have the Stones to off himself.
As a victim of abuse. I am so happy the jury socked it to him in 5 hours. I have lurked here for years keeping up with this. Hell has a special place for you Mr. Raniere. And it will be in general population taking it up the ass. My faith in humanity was restored today.
Words almost fail me. This is a glorious day. It took many people many years to get us to this day, but I’ll give a special thank you to you, Mr. Frank Parlato. You were the agitator, the warrior, and the key to putting Raniere finally, permanently, behind bars, where he can harm no one else. Frank, you did what no one else was able to do.
Let’s hope it doesn’t end today. Here’s hoping for maximum sentences to the rest of the NXIVM gang who have already plead guilty, and more indictments for all the other flying monkeys who are still out there.
Here’s hoping for continued investigation into the tax fraud, blackmail, lies, money laundering, threats, and suicides that are part and parcel of the vicious, harmful, cruel racket that was NXIVM.
And oh, how I wish I could see John Tighe’s face right now, and may he be fully exonerated some day very soon.
How long would it take to get a permit for a parade in Halfmoon, NY?
Viva Executive Success!
Plenty of people were able to do what Frank did, but they chose not to do what he did.
This bodes ill for the Allison Mack and Clare Bronfman.
They will receive sentences measured in years, rather than months, as some have predicted.
And so they should.
Yay!!!!!
