As a refresher, again in 2020, Raniere was sentenced to 120 years behind bars after he was discovered responsible of intercourse trafficking, racketeering, youngster pornography possession, and different crimes.
He’s at present making an attempt to enchantment his conviction and even filed an affidavit itemizing the alleged abuses he’s suffered whereas behind bars at USP Tucson in Arizona as a part of the continued authorized course of. In his enchantment, he alleges the FBI tampered with the photographs used as proof at his trial, which the federal government has known as “frivolous.” Now, in response to his crew, he believes the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is purposefully forcing him to reside in inhumane circumstances to cease his authorized motion. Stacy Scheff, the previous intercourse cult chief’s lawyer, mentioned within the authorized docs:
“Mr. Raniere is the topic of ongoing retaliation by the Bureau of Prisons. Mr. Raniere was retaliated in opposition to by having his contacts and name listing scrubbed the day after he filed a movement exposing FBI malfeasance. Mr. Raniere filed a grievance about that retaliation and was shortly thereafter assaulted by one other inmate. Following the assault, Mr. Raniere was positioned within the SHU [Special Housing Unit] to analyze the assault.”
It stays unclear why he was attacked. Some supporters imagine the violence might have been prompted by the very fact TNT reportedly re-ran an episode of Wealthy and Shameless the day prior. The present was titled The Heiress and the Intercourse Cult and featured former members of NXIVM who accused Raniere and Clare Bronfman of wrongdoing.

However attorneys assume extra is occurring.

He’s allowed one hour of recreation in a small cage — however even this may be in gross circumstances. Stacy continued:
“That investigation cleared Mr. Raniere of any culpability. In accordance with BOP coverage after the investigation was concluded, which was weeks in the past now, Keith ought to have been returned to his regular housing, however the retaliation continues as he stays within the SHU. Presently he’s allowed one five-minute cellphone name monthly, he can’t have a razor, he has no entry to authorized sources, and given books ‘at workers discretion.’ That is significantly egregious as a result of Mr. Raniere remains to be actively combating his case within the courts.”
On the inhumane remedy he and his cellmate have handled, she famous:
“Lately, Mr. Raniere was held in a cage for 4 hours subsequent to day-old human feces, which was on the ground and had been smeared all around the wall. He was even pressured to eat lunch right here.
