Leaders of “meditation orgasm”
New York-The leaders of the sex-focused women company, which promoted “meditation”, condemned the federal forced work.
On Monday, Brochlin’s jury found that Nicole Daidon, founder of OneTast INC. , And Richelle Sherwitz, former director of the company in California, is guilty after trading for less than two days after a five -week trial. Each of them faces imprisonment for up to 20 years when he is sentenced later.
The prosecutors argued that the two women managed a plan for a period of years that prepared followers – many of whom were victims of sexual shock – to provide their bids.
They said Daidon, 57, from New York and Sherwitz, 44, from California, used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and intimidation to force members of mountains for sexual acts in which they found uncomfortable or hateful, such as having sex with potential investors or clients.
The two followers told the suspicious actions necessary in order to obtain “freedom” and “enlightenment” and show their commitment to the principles of the organization.
Prosecutors said that the leaders of OneTaste also did not pay for the members of the members who turned to their colleagues, and even forced some of them to obtain new credit cards to continue taking the company’s courses.
In her closing statement last week, American lawyer Nina Gupta said that the defendants “built a work on their backs” for the victims who “gave everything” to them, including “their money, their time, their bodies, their dignity, and eventually their minds.”
“The ruling of Daidon and Sherwitz has truly: the pieces who won the vulnerable victims by providing empty promises of sexual empowerment and wellness only to manipulate them in the performance of employment and services for the right of the defendants,” said Joseph Nusela, the United States of the Eastern Region in New York.
The Daedone defense team threw a “feminist businessman with a ceiling destruction” who has created unique works about sexual life and empowering women.
Sherwitz’s lawyer, Celia Cohen, argued that the witnesses who witnessed had not had to do anything. When the organization did not like anymore or want to try other things, they simply left.
She said in her closing statement last week: “Regardless of your opinion of OneTaste and what they were doing, they chose it. They knew what is going on around it,” she said in her closing statement last week. “The fact that they regret the measures they took when they were younger are not evidence of a crime.”
The defendants’ lawyers said that their clients maintain their innocence and intend to appeal.
“We are deeply disappointed in today’s ruling,” lawyers said in a statement on Monday. “This issue has raised many new and complex legal issues that require a review of the second circle.”
Daedone participated in the founding of OneTaste in San Francisco in 2004 as a kind of self -assistance municipality that looked at the shooks of female sexual intercourse as a key to sexual and psychological health and personal relationship.
The central piece “meditation is orgasm”, or “om”, which men manually motivate women in a group group.
The company enjoyed covering the incandescent media in 2010 and soon opened external actions from Los Angeles to London. It was photographed as an advanced institution that gave priority to women’s sexual pleasure, and has achieved revenues by providing training courses, training, om events and other sexual practices for a fee.
Daidon sold her share in the company in 2017 for $ 12 million – a year before marketing and employment practices in OneTaste were exposed.
The current owners of the company, who brought their brand to the OM Institute, said that its work was misunderstood and that the charges against former executives were unjustified.
They maintain sexual approval for the cornerstone of the organization. The company immediately did not respond to an email seeking a comment.
