Seagram heiress Clare Bronfman pleads guilty in New York sex cult case

Seagram liquor heiress Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty on Friday to harboring an illegal immigrant and enabling credit card fraud as part of an alleged sex cult based in upstate New York.[NEW YORK] Seagram liquor heiress Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty on Friday to harboring an illegal immigrant and enabling credit card fraud as part of an alleged sex cult based in upstate New York.

Bronfman admitted that she knowingly harboured a woman brought to the United States on a fake work visa in order to obtain that woman's labour for herself and the organisation. She also said she helped Nxivm's founder, Keith Raniere, use a deceased woman's credit card. Actress Allison Mack, best known for her role on the WB television show"Smallville," pleaded guilty earlier this month to blackmailing two women in connection with Nxivm. Former Nxivm president Nancy Salzman and her daughter Lauren Salzman pleaded guilty in March.

Last month, prosecutors unsealed new charges accusing Raniere of sexually exploiting a minor and coercing her to produce child pornography.
