Leaders of ‘orgasmic meditation' women's wellness company OneTaste convicted in forced labor trial
NEW YORK -- The leaders of a sex-focused women's wellness company that promoted 'orgasmic meditation' have been convicted of federal forced labor charges. A Brooklyn jury on Monday found Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste Inc., and Rachel Cherwitz, the California-based company's former sales director, guilty after deliberating for less than two days following a five-week trial. The two each face up to 20 years in prison when sentenced later. Prosecutors had argued the two women ran a yearslong scheme that groomed adherents — many of them victims of sexual trauma — to do their bidding. They said Daedone, 57, of New York, and Cherwitz, 44, of California, used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and indoctrination to force OneTaste members into sexual acts they found uncomfortable or repulsive, such as having sex with prospective investors or clients. The two told followers the questionable acts were necessary in order to obtain 'freedom' and 'enlightenment' and demonstrate their commitment to the organization's principles. Prosecutors said OneTaste leaders also didn't pay promised earnings to the members-turned-workers and even forced some of them to take out new credit cards to continue taking the company's courses. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nina Gupta, in her closing statement last week, said the defendants 'built a business on the backs' of victims who 'gave everything' to them, including 'their money, their time, their bodies, their dignity, and ultimately their sanity.' 'The jury's verdict has unmasked Daedone and Cherwitz for who they truly are: grifters who preyed on vulnerable victims by making empty promises of sexual empowerment and wellness only to manipulate them into performing labor and services for the defendants' benefit,' said Joseph Nocella, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Daedone's defense team cast her as a 'ceiling-shattering feminist entrepreneur' who created a unique business around women's sexuality and empowerment. Cherwitz's lawyer, Celia Cohen, argued that the witnesses who testified weren't forced to do anything. When they didn't like the organization anymore or wanted to try other things, she said, they simply left. 'No matter what you think about OneTaste and what they were doing, they chose it. They knew what it was about,' she said in her closing statement last week. 'The fact they are regretting the actions that they took when they were younger is not evidence of a crime.' Lawyers for the defendants said their clients maintain their innocence and intend to appeal. 'We are deeply disappointed in today's verdict," the lawyers said in a statement Monday. "This case raised numerous novel and complex legal issues that will require review by the Second Circuit.' Daedone co-founded OneTaste in San Francisco in 2004 as a sort of self-help commune that viewed female orgasms as key to sexual and psychological wellness and interpersonal connection. A centerpiece was 'orgasmic meditation,' or 'OM,' which was carried out by men manually stimulating women in a group setting. The company enjoyed glowing media coverage in the 2010s and quickly opened outposts from Los Angeles to London. Portrayed as a cutting-edge enterprise that prioritized women's sexual pleasure, it generated revenue by providing courses, coaching, OM events, and other sexual practices for a fee. Daedone sold her stake in the company in 2017 for $12 million — a year before OneTaste's marketing and labor practices came under scrutiny. The company's current owners, who have rebranded it the Institute of OM Foundation, have said its work has been misconstrued and the charges against its former executives were unjustified.

Nearly two dozen arrested outside Manhattan ICE facility after protests erupt into chaos
Nearly two dozen people were busted as protests erupted Wednesday night after ICE arrested multiple migrants at a Lower Manhattan courthouse hours earlier, cops said. Twenty-three people were taken into custody as activists rallied outside the U.S. Immigration Court on Varick Street near West Houston Street, according to police. Eighteen were released with summonses, and the status of the five others was not immediately known. The arrested demonstrators were attempting to block the path of the two vans that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were using to transport the detained migrants, Hell Gate reported. The crowd also clashed with authorities over the barricades set up to keep them back, according to CBS New York. The protesters were outraged after two dozen masked, plainclothes officers gathered Wednesday afternoon in the lobby of 26 Federal Plaza, where they corralled at least six migrants as well as a Queens pastor who tried to intervene, according to a report in The City. The six men and one woman were spotted as agents carted them — some in handcuffs — back into an elevator they had just come out of, the outlet reported. ICE spokesperson Marie Ferguson told The City that the operation was in line with the Trump administration's push for 'expedited removal' of those who had illegally entered the country over the last two years under the Biden administration. 'ICE is now following the law and placing these illegal aliens in expedited removal, as they always should have been,' Ferguson said. 'If they have a valid credible fear claim, they will continue in immigration proceedings, but if no valid claim is found, aliens will be subject to a swift deportation.' But a member of the crowd gathered on Varick Street told CBS he was astonished by the scene. 'I've never seen anything like this,' said the man, who only provided his first name, Ben. 'I've been working here for a couple years and I've never seen this many agents, let alone agents dressed in plain clothes, wearing masks, pulling people out of line. It's totally out of the ordinary.' Meanwhile on Thursday, at the City Council's Fiscal Year 2026 executive budget hearing, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the NYPD prohibited by city law 'to participate or assist in civil immigration enforcement, and we do not.' 'We have been very clear and consistent on this, and our officers understand that this is a red line we cannot cross,' the top cop said. 'At the same time, we will continue to target criminals, regardless of their immigration status.' 'Some have asked whether we should reconsider our cooperation with federal agencies on criminal investigations in light of their work with ICE,' Tisch added. 'The short, straight answer to this is no. Working with our federal partners on criminal matters is crucial to the safety of our city.'

'Who Killed JFK?' Dallas Express Sold Out Event — Exposes Deep Public Distrust
Nearly 200 people packed into Community Beer Company on Monday night, and nearly 1,000 more tuned in live on X, as The Dallas Express tackled a question that still haunts Dallas — and the nation — more than 60 years later: 'Who Killed JFK?' What unfolded was not a quest for a final answer, but a clear sign of something deeper: widespread public distrust in the narratives handed down by government officials and legacy media. Audience members listened intently, asked hard questions, and openly challenged the mainstream storylines surrounding President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Some brought their own theories. Others just wanted the truth — or at least, an honest discussion about it. 'We weren't here to push a conspiracy,' said The Dallas Express COO Drew Robinson. 'We were here to make space for open inquiry — and clearly, people are hungry for that.' Headlining the panel were Dennis McCuistion and Dory Wiley, two respected Dallas businessmen with deep ties to both the financial world and the JFK research community. Their unique mix of analytical rigor and historical knowledge made for a lively and layered discussion. They dissected decades of unanswered questions — from the shortcomings of the Warren Commission to the CIA's long-withheld documents — without claiming to know it all. The night wasn't about certainty. It was about skepticism. And the packed room made one thing loud and clear: Americans are no longer willing to be told what to think.
