US EditionLeaders of ‘Orgasmic Meditation’ Wellness Company Convicted in Forced Labor Trial
- A Brooklyn jury found Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz guilty on Monday of forced labor conspiracy tied to OneTaste, a wellness company founded in San Francisco in 2004.
- Federal prosecutors charged the women in 2023, alleging they coerced employees into sexual acts, manipulated labor, withheld wages, and drove victims into debt under a guise of empowerment.
- Prosecutors described OneTaste’s core practice, orgasmic meditation, as a centerpiece used to manipulate vulnerable women, some forced to have sex with investors, as part of an abusive scheme.
- Assistant US Attorney Nina Gupta stated last week that the defendants profited by exploiting victims who sacrificed their money, time, bodies, dignity, and mental well-being for the company.
- Daedone and Cherwitz each face up to 20 years in prison, and their convictions involve complex and unprecedented legal questions that will likely be examined by the Second Circuit court.
