Defence attorney Marc Agnifilo has argued that no crimes were committed.
"This trial has revealed that Raniere, who portrayed himself as a savant and a genius, was in fact a massive manipulator, a con man, and the crime boss of a cult-like organisation involved in sex trafficking, child pornography, extortion, compelled abortions, branding, degradation and humiliation," he said.Most of the counts that Raniere faced stem from his involvement in a secret group within Nxivm known as "DOS" or "The Vow.
Prosecutors said Raniere initially recruited eight women within Nxivm's ranks to join the secret sex society. But defence attorney Agnifilo previously told CNN he felt that Raniere firmly believes his ideas are sound, humanitarian ideas.
