Founder of the Society of Sexual Wellness, Onetaste Inc. and her former sales head, were convicted of accusations of forced work by the Brooklyn court.
The California society promoted “orgasmic meditation”, or “OM”, which was carried out by men by hand -stimulating women in a group environment.
After a five -week court proceedings, the court found on Monday that Nicole Daedone, 57, founder Onetaste, and Rachel Cherwitz, 44 years, former sales director, wine after thinking for less than two days, reported about the press agency AP.
Both defendants could face up to 20 years in prison.
During the case of hearing, the prosecutors claimed that Nicole and Rachel had carried out a long system that regulated the adherents from which many of them were the victims of sexual trauma, said the report.
Both women used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and indoctrination to force onetaste members to have sexual actions such as sex with potential investors or clients.
Assistant to American prosecutor Nina Gupt said last week in her final statement that the defendants “built a company on his back” victims that “gave them everything”, including “their money, time, their bodies, their dignity and finally their common sense”, according to reports.
“The jury’s judgment was revealed by Daedone and Cherwitz for who they really are: Grifters who dealt with vulnerable victims by issuing empty promises of sexual strengthening and wellness to manipulate work and services for the defendants,” said Joseph Nocella, American prosecutor.
Who is Nicole Daedone?
Nicole Daedone of New York co -founded OneTaste in San Francisco in 2004 as a kind of self -help community that considered female orgasms to be the key to sexual and psychological wellness and interpersonal connection.
The sexual wellness company, which was portrayed as a top business that preferred the sexual pleasure of women, generated income by providing courses, coaching, OM events and other sexual practices for a fee.
Onetaste enjoyed shining media coverage in 2010 and quickly opened centers from Los Angeles to London.
Nicole sold her stake in OneTaste in 2017 for $ 12 million, a year before the criticism of the company’s marketing and work practices.
The current owners of Onetaste, who rebranded it as the Institute of OM, stated that her work was misinterpreted and accused of his former executives were unauthorized.
They also said that sexual consent was always the cornerstone of the organization.
