NXIVM case, Keith Raniere
faces sentencing on October 27
for racketeering, racketeering
conspiracy, sex trafficking
conspiracy, sex trafficking,
attempted sex trafficking,
forced labor conspiracy and
wire fraud conspiracy.
On
August 14 U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of
New York Judge Nicholas G.
Garaufis held a proceeding.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it:
Judge: If you are
asking to meet your client in
the courthouse, I would have
to make a record as to why.
First you should reach out to
the warden, to see if a
meeting can be arranged in the
MDC. And advise the Court via
letter. You don't have to list
the date.
Judge: I'm trying
to arrange as much
confidentiality as I can in
this proceeding. Now, as to
sentencing submissions. Could
government file its by Aug 28?
Then the defendant's by Sept
17. I'll sent Oct 9 for
individuals' statement for the
defendant. Next, victims
Judge: Any
victims who wish to attend the
proceeding and/or make an
in-person statement could
submit to the court one week
before sentencing. It will be
under seal, with copies to the
defense. The victims should
not be the subject of
inquiries by the press
Judge:
We'll have to use several
courtrooms, including in the
old courthouse. I'll consult
with the District Executive..
Let's meet October 27 at 10 am
for sentencing.
Inner City
Press will continue to cover
this and other EDNY (and of
course SDNY) cases. This is US
v. Raniere, 18-cr-204
