Leaders of 'orgasmic meditation' company were convicted of forced labor: What to know
Briefly

Former OneTaste executives Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz were convicted of forced labor conspiracy, having exploited employees through coercive tactics from 2006 to 2018. The prosecution revealed how they manipulated vulnerable women—often with prior trauma—into degrading sexual acts for the company's advantage. Employees faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and were coerced into working long hours without pay. The verdict highlights a manipulation scheme disguised as a sexual empowerment program, revealing the true nature of the defendants as abusers masking their exploitation under the guise of wellness.
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.
From 2006 to 2018, Daedone and Cherwitz were found to have manipulated multiple young women into performing degrading sex acts for the company's benefit.
