Jon Campbell Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 12:46 PM EDT Mar 13, 2019 ALBANY, N.Y. – The president and co-founder of NXIVM is expected to plead guilty Wednesday in federal court, where she is accused of advancing a widespread criminal enterprise on behalf of the cult-like organization. Nancy Salzman, who was known to NXIVM followers as "Prefect," is scheduled to appear at Brooklyn federal court at 3 p.m. for a "criminal cause for pleading" proceeding, which is common for a guilty plea. NXIVM, led by mastermind Keith Raniere, was a self-help organization based in the Albany area that was the subject of international headlines last year when Raniere and his inner circle were arrested, accused of overseeing a criminal operation in which some women followers were branded with Raniere's initials and groomed for his sexual pleasure. Salzman co-founded NXIVM with Raniere in the 1990s, acting as his second-in-command until the organization suspended operations … [Read more...] about NXIVM co-founder expected to plead guilty

Man given suspended sentence after pleading guilty to injuring cohabitant
A British man, resident in Birzebbugia, was given a suspended sentence after slightly injuring a female cohabitant in an argument. Darren Jon Bunting was charged with causing slight bodily harm on the woman. During his arraignment on 24 December last year, Bunting pleaded guilty and confirmed his plea after having been afforded sufficient time to reconsider his admission. The court, in its deliberations on punishment, noted that the injuries were inflicted during an argument at the couple’s residence and that it appeared to have been the first such altercation during their relationship. Magistrate Rachel Montebello also observed that the injuries suffered by the woman “do not appear to be of mere small consequence, at least physically,” to the woman. For these reasons, and in view of the man’s early guilty plea and clean criminal record, the court imposed a period of imprisonment for 3 months, which it suspended for 18 months. The magistrate also ordered the man … [Read more...] about Man given suspended sentence after pleading guilty to injuring cohabitant
