NEW YORK—Keith Raniere, the former leader and founder of NXIVM, was sentenced to 120 years in prison at a Brooklyn federal court.
The Oct. 27 sentencing—which likely amounts to life in prison for 60-year-old Raniere—comes after a federal jury found Raniere guilty last year of all seven criminal counts including sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy, and racketeering.
