A member of NXIVM’s executive board quietly pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges sometime last week and admitted in court to harboring her own personal slave.

Lauren Salzman, a top-ranking member of the purported self-help organization and daughter of co-founder Nancy Salzman, told Judge Nicholas Garaufis at the Eastern District Court in Brooklyn that she threatened her slave with deportation and kept her imprisoned in a room between March 2010 and April 2012.
