The Cult Specialist
Rick Ross spent more than a decade fighting lawsuits leveled against him by Keith Raniere and NXIVM, after the cult deprogrammer publicly criticized the purported self-help organization’s practices. In 2018, Ross ended up testifying at Raniere’s trial, which ended in a conviction on sex-trafficking and other crimes, and earned him a sentence of 120 years in prison.
Today, Raniere is in prison, and all other key NXIVM players who were charged with crimes have been sentenced. On this episode of The Eagle, Rick Ross joins Casey Seiler to discuss his thoughts as the NXIVM saga seemingly winds down.
Also on this episode, reporter Shrishti Mathew celebrates her first Diwali as a Capital Region resident, and explains some of the traditions associated with the Festival of Lights.
