Some of them had even started gathering evidence, saving messages, documenting what they'd witnessed, building a record of what was really happening inside Nxivm before they walked out the door.
Katie RingHOST
At the urging of Catherine Oxenberg, the mother of India, the young woman whose descent I walked you through last time, Sarah reached out to a man named Frank Parlato.
Katie RingHOST
Frank was a former Nxivm publicist who'd had a bitter falling out with the group, and he ran an investigative blog.
Katie RingHOST
Sarah shared what had happened to her, and Frank started publishing it, at first without using her name, hoping that just getting the word out there might be enough to stop the next branding ceremony before it happened.
Katie RingHOST
Meanwhile, Catherine Oxenberg was waging a campaign of her own, and she was relentless.
Katie RingHOST
Her daughter India was still deep inside Nxivm and DOS, still being controlled, still slipping further away.
Katie RingHOST
Catherine had tried everything a mother could think of, and none of it had worked, so she turned to the only tool she had left.
Katie RingHOST
She went to the press.

It was like that flash of reality, like now is this little window when I can get out and I'm taking it," unquote.
Kris CollinsHOST
And India Oxenberg, the incredibly brave woman I got to sit down with and that I will be posting an interview of in a few days, said that those posts shattered the secrecy DOS depended on.
Kris CollinsHOST
Quote, "Even within Nxivm, no members outside of DOS were supposed to know that it existed.
Kris CollinsHOST
As soon as the Frank Report posts started coming up, there were a ton of questions and a lot of chatter," unquote.
Kris CollinsHOST
And in a recorded conversation, Raniere had called the branding a monogram of his initials.
Kris CollinsHOST
And fa- so faced with mounting scrutiny, he tried to rewrite the story, claiming the design was inspired by the Greek alphabet, the seven chakras, and the four elements, is what he would say.
Kris CollinsHOST
And Catherine Oxenberg, India Oxenberg's mother, who'd been watching her daughter, India, slip deeper into Raniere's world, later credited the timing.
Kris CollinsHOST
And she told The Daily Beast that The Times had originally treated the piece as an evergreen story with no urgency to publish.
Katie RingHOST
Last time, I told you how Keith and Nancy Salzman built a self-help empire that trained thousands of people to obey.
Katie RingHOST
Today, I'll talk about the darkest thing hidden inside of it, a secret group called DOS, and the story of one young woman, India Oxenberg, who got pulled all the way in.
Katie RingHOST
If you've spent years trying every diet out there only to end up feeling totally stuck, listen up.
Katie RingHOST
This summer can actually be different.

In 2011, India Oxenberg was 19 years old, and she was looking for her purpose.
Katie RingHOST
She'd given college a try for a year and decided it wasn't for her.
PhilionHOST
Stars also premiered a true crime docuseries into this corporate cult called Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult.
PhilionHOST
This series follows India Oxenberg, or the daughter of Catherine, a former member of NXIVM who had a hard time coming to the realization that the self-help organization she trusted was truly a cult.
PhilionHOST
Additionally, other women from NXIVM, such as Naomi Gibson, Tabby Chapman, and Kelly Teal, share their stories of the abuse they suffered or witnessed.
PhilionHOST
It's hard to believe that stories like this can actually happen.
Fergal SchmudlachHOST
It's something I've grappled with this season because I don't want to deny these women agency, and I'm sure the motivations are complex and context-specific, but it's really hard to believe Pamela Cafritz wasn't coldly thrown to the wolves.
Fergal SchmudlachHOST
And India Oxenberg, brought in by her mother at such a young age, and Lauren Salzman, who was raised in NXIVM by her mother, those are the ones I think I can firmly say were thrown into danger directly by their families and treated as disposable.
Fergal SchmudlachHOST
Laura Rosa Junco sits right on the line between personal agency and being a node in something larger for her family, and To be honest, I don't know exactly what I think.
