Leader of orgasmic meditation brand sentenced to nine years for coercive labor scheme

Nicole Daedone, co-founder of OneTaste, was sentenced to nine years in federal prison for masterminding a coercive scheme that forced adherents to perform sexual acts with investors and clients; she must forfeit $12 million, and seven victims will receive restitution. A second executive, Cherwitz, received six and a half years. Prosecutors described the scheme as using economic, psychological, and emotional abuse to control members, while Daedone’s defense urged leniency and appeals.”,
