The headlines of NXIVM read like something out of a Dan Brown novel, 'Alleged sex cult under investigation by the FBI', or 'secret sorority branded initials, in weird slave/master ceremony.

 

Or things like 'Former Smallville actress arrested for sex trafficking' and 'Dynasty actress Cathrine Oxenburg pleads for help to rescue daughter from "sex cult".

 

But these are front page headlines in July of 2018, when the leader of a ‘self-described multi-level marketing company’ was arrested and charged with sex trafficing.
