NEW YORK - A filmmaker who spent 12 years in a secretive New York group that prosecutors say evolved into a sex cult is set to testify for a second day on Thursday against its former leader who faces charges that include sex trafficking.
Raniere has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking and child pornography. He faces life in prison if convicted. Vicente, who took the witness stand toward the end of the day on Wednesday, said Nxivm President Nancy Salzman contacted him around 2005 after seeing a film he made about quantum physics and philosophy, saying she wanted to introduce him to Raniere.
