OneTaste co-founder Nicole Daedone gets 9 years in prison in forced labor case

The leader of a sex-focused women’s wellness company that promoted “orgasmic meditation” has been sentenced to 9 years in prison on federal forced labor charges. The Brooklyn judge on Monday also ordered Nicole Daedone, co-founder of OneTaste Inc., to forfeit $12 million. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year sentence for Daedone, whose lawyers pushed for a term of about two years. Rachel Cherwitz, the California company’s former sales director, is also set to be sentenced Monday. Prosecutors argued that the two groomed adherents to do their bidding for years, but Daedone’s lawyer cast her as a “ceiling-shattering feminist entrepreneur."

Being called homosexual comes with the threat of a prison sentence."
