    Just a reminder that we've normalized that the President of the United States liked to burst into the dressing room of underage children. Like he specifically bought a teen pageant just so he could do that.

    Yikes, not familiar with these people, has this been a big story?

    "Prosecutors allege Mr Raniere oversaw a "slave and master" system in his group called Nxivm, where female members were expected to have sex with him and were branded with his initials."

    Headline doesn't convey this well enough.

    Also charged is Allison Mack, who was an actress on the show and, according to the charges, Raniere's top recruiter.

    These people make Scientology look normal.

    "Mack directly or implicitly required her slaves... to engage in sexual activity with Raniere," the statement from the attorney's office claims.

    "In exchange for this, Mack received financial and other benefits."

    If found guilty, both Ms Mack and Mr Raniere face at least 15 years in prison.

    I wonder why this is not a huge story? It may be, I don't see many celebrity type news, so maybe I am just out of the loop. It seems to have all the things that usually make a huge story that you can't escape.
