Prosecution Memo: Clare Bronfman involved in sex cult, recruited for DOS; had sex with Raniere

Bronfman told married women not to have sex with husband, join DOS and send nude photos to Raniere

Some new revelations were made public, thanks to the EDNY DOJ’s memo in opposition to Keith Raniere and Clare Bronfman’s motions to dismiss Superseding Indictment #2 and Clare and Kathy Russell’s motion to sever their trials from Raniere.

According to the memo:

Bronfman, Russell and Allison Mack are each charged in a RICO conspiracy involving predicate acts of human trafficking, sex trafficking, and child exploitation.

The government plans to admit evidence that Bronfman, Mack, and Russell recruited and groomed sexual partners for Raniere, within and outside of DOS – and were aware of and facilitated Raniere’s sexual relationships with underage victims.

At trial, the government intends to prove that Bronfman, Mack and Russell were in sexual relationships with Raniere and undertook efforts to facilitate Raniere’s access to other women.

The government plans to present evidence that Bronfman instructed a woman not to have sexual relations with her husband. That woman was later recruited to become a DOS “slave” and, among other assignments, was tasked with sending nude photographs to Raniere.

***

This runs counter to something Bronfman previously claimed:

On December 14th, 2017 – three and half months before Raniere’s arrest and seven months before her own – she made an official statement on her website, [www.clarebronfman.com], where she said, “ I am not and never have been a member of the sorority” [DOS].

Her entire statement – which came out when the FBI EDNY was investigating Nxivm – and Frank Report had announced this to readers – reads as follows:

“The past few months have been deeply painful for me, as I have seen my friends, associates, and the organization I care for come under fire. Some have asked me why I remain a member and why I still support NXIVM and Keith Raniere. The answer is simple: I’ve seen so much good come from both our programs and from Keith himself. It would be a tragedy to lose the innovative and transformational ideas and tools that continue to improve the lives of so many.

“There have been many defamatory accusations made and I have taken them seriously. Determining the truth is extremely important to me, and I can say firmly that neither NXIVM nor Keith have (sic) abused or coerced anyone.

“I retired from a very successful career as a professional show-jumper because I wanted to do something more meaningful with my life. NXIVM is that. As I said, the programs help. I am happy, healthy and financially more successful than I have ever been. I frequently hear and witness stories of individuals improving relationships with loved ones, achieving business goals they never imagined, and overcoming some of the most debilitating conditions, amongst other things.

“My experience with Keith is no different. I have witnessed his kindness even in the hardest of times, I have seen world leaders, business leaders, doctors and others seek his counsel on some of the hardest topics and I am inspired by the humility and compassion with which he approaches them all. I know him to be a man dedicated to the betterment of the lives of others, and most importantly for me, he is a dear friend who has and continues to help me through the difficult decisions and painful moments in my life, including my father’s illness and eventual death.

“Lastly, while I am not and never have been a member of the sorority, I was reassured to hear from one of the leading forensic psychiatrists in the country, and additionally ex-law enforcement investigators of over thirty years, conclude that the sorority has not coerced nor abused anyone. In fact, the sorority has truly benefited the lives of its members, and does so freely. I find no fault in a group of women (or men for that matter) freely taking a vow of loyalty and friendship with one another to feel safe while pushing back against the fears that have stifled their personal and professional growth. It’s not for any of us to judge how they, or anyone else, choose to advance their lives and values”.

Respectfully,

Clare Bronfman

***

Interestingly, Clare seems to have lost her domain www.clarebronfman.com to another person with the same name. She is Professor Clare Bronfman, Ph.D. of the University of Virginia.

It’s probably for the best; where Clare is going, she won’t likely need a website.

Clare Bear has never been know for telling the truth. As a matter of fact she tells lies when it’s just as easy to tell the truth.

An example of this is where she found her top shelf lawyer. Why would she tell the Judge she found him on Google?

Who looks for a criminal attorney on Google when your run in the circles of Clare Bear? With this kind of case? Maybe a DUI, not RICO.

When pinned down by the Judge for the truth, she admitted to talking to his daughter. Who buying that’s the whole truth?

Clare has gotten caught telling lies in so many legal battles, it makes the devil’s head spin.

So Clare has seen so much good come from “our programs and from Keith.”

Clare is now taking credit for NXIVM and its offshoots such as DOS. Hmmm.

Wouldn’t Keith say, as he told Nancy, that Clare is too prideful and then humble her by taking away her position within the group? Oh, but then, he would not have access to the Bronfman millions, would he? Poor Nancy had no such bankroll thus she was humbled, for her own good of course.

Gotta keep people guessing and on their toes, right Keith old boy?

As for so much good coming from Keith….hmmmm…he destroyed careers, depleted fortunes, fucked underage girls, took pornographic pics of at least one underage girl, separated families, crucified legally perceived enemies or those who dared to leave the NXIVM fold……that’s a hell lot of good if you’re into masochism!

Just sayin’!

From the very beginning, the feds brought their big guns. RICO was made to counter the code of silence of the mafia and the sort. So this cult is nothing but a gang with a bunch of fame-seeking, money-hungry ladies, who used their status to bring women in the cult/gang as per KAR demands.

This also means that those Mexican Cartels have infiltrated Hollywood by blackmailing unwilling participants so the gang can launder money more efficiently into the Canadian and U.S market under the noses of federal agencies.

The feds have a lot of work to do, Mexican cartels have evolved better than their Italian counterpart.

Clare hired Geragos for a very specific reason.

Geragos was the lawyer who represented Michael Jackson on his child molestation charges.
Now Clare will be publicly exposed for her involvement in NXIIVM DOS and grooming girls to service Raniere.

“The government plans to admit evidence that Bronfman, Mack, and Russell recruited and groomed sexual partners for Raniere, within and outside of DOS – and were aware of and facilitated Raniere’s sexual relationships with underage victims.”

Hiring Geragos was no accident.

Legal Experts:

I and many others would greatly appreciate a link to a website or a post;

Regarding the deal Clare’s attorneys tried to set up using information from another case to gain credit for Clare Bronfman to apply to her plea deal.

as if she was being used as a “confidential informant” and or cooperating witness.

I can not find one legal example.

My significant other will not answer any more of my questions regarding this case. LOL

Please can someone post the proper name for Clare Bronfman’s deal or at least a link to a website where more information can be found.

Thank you!

I am sure many other guests/visitors at the Frankreport world appreciate the information as well.

I may be wrong but the way I’m looking at this is that Geragos and Avenatti met with Lasko and Avenatti offered information on another case, that had nothing to do with Clare, to benefit Clare. A few days later, Avenatti was indicted and Geragos named co-conspirator and touted as a cooperating witness, but unindicted, in the Nike extortion case. And suddenly the charges were dropped against Jussie Smollett, another of Geragos’ clients.

If Avenatti had offered Lesko information on Nike and was turned down, then was caught trying to extort Nike, could it be that Geragos sold out Avenatti to the Feds in advance, in exchange for Jussie Smollett’s charges to be dropped or to benefit Clare?

That’s what I surmise, too, Pyriel. I’m just a bit shocked it’s “legal” given our pride in rule by law, liberty and justice for all and all that jazz here in the U.S.

Call me naive but if this is the case maybe Clare Bronfman’s billions could have and still can get KAR off on torturing, raping as many 12 yr. olds as he pleases. Maybe gettting away with murder no matter how evident isn’t out of the question as often as I thought either.

Sorry, I’m having a Nietche, existential crises moment over this revelation.

Nike called in the Feds right away after the first meeting with Avenatti and Geragos.

The Feds taped the second meeting and had Nike tape the third meeting.

Geragos did not bring Avenatti to the Feds on a silver platter. If he had, he wouldn’t be CC1.

Yolanda: A story you might find of interest.

This former A- list mostly television actress turned sex trafficker/cult leader is hooking up with at least two people to pay for her legal defense. One is a shocker.

Allison Mack

Simon said…
Avenatti. Remember she freaked out when the judge mentioned him in court?
She was “paying” Avenatti for legal defense with sex. Not that he was paying cash to someone for her.

I wouldn’t be surprised that Bronfman thought that being part of DOS, and branded, was beneath her, and instead facilitated it from afar – and that Raniere allowed her to get away with her chosen role, having no other choice than to essentially submit to the hand that fed him. He probably also presented a better face to her, and treated her better, than anyone else.

Her statement may thus have been technically true, if somewhat disingenuous. The part about “happy, healthy and financially more successful” seems obviously false, particularly the financial part, though she may well have been deluded enough to believe it herself.

Raniere didn’t submit to Bronfman, he just didn’t want to piss her off. He valued her money. However, the mere thought of them having sex makes me throw up in my mouth.

Attention everyone:

The following quote below vindicates all of Shadowstate’s theories and hunches over the past year.

Sadly, Shadowstate was right all along, the women knew Raniere was molesting underage girls. In addition, the women were aiding and abetting him.

I wonder if the human cancer Nancy Salzman knew? (Rhetorical question).

“The government plans to admit evidence that Bronfman, Mack, and Russell recruited and groomed sexual partners for Raniere, within and outside of DOS, and were aware of and facilitated Raniere’s sexual relationship with underage victims”, Frankreport.

Thank you, niceguy.

From the very beginning, I was hoping against hope that Raniere’s pedophilia was only limited to a few cases many years ago.

But as time has passed, evidence has revealed that numerous NXIVM women were complicit in child molestation and now more recent NXIVM women were recruiting and grooming girls for sex with Raniere.

NO DEALS FOR ANY OF THESE WOMEN.
THEY ALL BELONG IN THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL WITH PAM CAFRITZ AND BARB JESKE.

Shadowstate,

The most frightening and saddest aspect of this new information is the information regarding the women’s role. There was an active conspiracy of sorts to recruit and groom young girls for the pedophile Keith Raniere.

This new information regarding the women gives credence to the idea that there are many other pedophile type groups conspiring in the world besides NXIVM, Momrmonism sects and of course the Catholic Church. I am not into conspiracies but now I think closer investigations are now warranted into current allegations of criminal pedophile rings that exist.

The fact that women played such a pivotal role in recruitment is extremely disturbing to me. I would not have expected that a large number women would be involved in such an endeavor.

When men are involved in such acts it’s never surprising or shocking because we have all come to expect such actions to be carried out by men.

I am glad the DOJ/FBI have done such a good job. What had been going on was so incredible dark and evil. I was hoping that the allegations that Frank reported on were wrong involving the young girls. No offense to Frank but this news is just so awful.

My heart goes out to all of the young girls that became Keith Raniere’s victims.

“My heart goes out to all of the young girls that became Keith Raniere’s victims.”

I echo that sentiment.
Historically, pimping has been a profession employing both women and men.

Many female prostitutes advance into pimping.

Just think of all the female teachers caught having sex with their students.

Mary Kay LeTourneau comes to mind.

And I’ve heard women talk about the proverbial female gym teacher who liked to get a little too close to her young athletes.

In the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile case, his chief pimp was a British born heiress who supposedly helped recruit the girls.

I won’t mention her name because she denies it and threatens to sue anyone who accuses her but a little research into the Epstein case will reveal her name to you.
