Please note, this episode contains strong language and sexual situations.

On October 27, 2020, in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York, a man stood awaiting sentencing

after being convicted of seven total charges, including two counts of sex trafficking.

Fifteen women stood and gave heartbreaking testimony of financial coercion, fraud, mental manipulation, and sexual abuse.

One woman even testified that this particular man abused her when she was 15 years old and forced her to keep her weight under 100 pounds.

As the horror stories unfolded, the man in question sat, listened, and then denied all allegations.

That man was Keith Ranieri.

Years prior, the warrant for his arrest stated that he knowingly and intentionally recruited enticed Harvard, transported, obtained, patronized, and solicited persons.

That warrant listed two women, Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am thrilled to introduce to you Jane Doe No. 2.

We get there, the bus stop. It's pitch black, it's snowing, it's cold, we're in the middle of nowhere.

I just thought, who the fuck is playing volleyball right now?

But I was really excited to meet Keith.

So when I met him, I had this huge emotional breakdown, and I started crying.

And he holds my hand, sits me down at this little bench area, and he's like, why are you so emotional right now?

I said, I'm meeting someone who cares enough about humanity that wants to change it in a positive way, and I'm just really emotionally moved right now.

He's just held my hand, and was just like, I'm glad that you're here.

No one wakes up going like, oh, I want to join a cult today.

Welcome to Was I in a cult.

He meant to say, join us on Was I in a cult?

Yes, join us please, and never leave.

Never leave us. Tell them, who am I?
