Nxivm 'sex cult' part two: The fight to free my daughter
How Catherine Oxenberg exposed the self-help group Nxivm as a dangerous cult, rescued her daughter India and put the cult leader Keith Raniere on trial.
When Catherine Oxenberg realised that her daughter India had been indoctrinated by the cult Nxivm (pronounced Nexium) and coerced into a sex-trafficking ring, she tried to do everything to rescue her and bring down the cult leader Keith Raniere.
Ever since he can remember, Hak-Min Kim has been obsessed with electronic gadgets. Growing up in North Korea, he would fix appliances for his neighbours and they called him 'Repair Boy.' But his love of all things electronic would land him in jail after he was caught watching a TV show banned by the regime. Hak-Min first spoke to Outlook in 2017.
The interview with India and Catherine Oxenberg is part two of Cult Behaviour, a mini-series from Outlook exploring how a cult can manipulate a person鈥檚 sense of reality, and what it can take to break free. Part one, which explores how India and Catherine got involved in Nxivm is available here: /programmes/w3ct1jt2. Or you can listen to both these episodes combined on the Outlook podcast.
