Nicole Daedone, 58, founded OneTaste, the San Francisco company that ran a sexuality-focused wellness program for its paying students. Its alleged victims testified that they consented to the practices, and no physical force was alleged. Yet a Brooklyn jury convicted Daedone and former sales chief Rachel Cherwitz, 45, of forced labor conspiracy in June 2025. In March, Judge Diane Gujarati, a Donald Trump appointee, sentenced Daedone to nine years and Cherwitz to six-and-a-half years. The bipartisan scholars\u2014among them Harvard Law\u2019s Alan Dershowitz and the London School of Economics\u2019 Eileen Barker\u2014signed a memorandum through the Turin-based Center for Studies on New Religions calling the case, \u201ca significant threat to religious liberty and democratic norms.\u201d The memo supports an analysis by Massimo Introvigne, the Italian sociologist who founded the Turin-based Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), and is widely regarded as the world\u2019s foremost authority on new religious movements. \u201cSome may not understand why new religious movement scholars regard the OneTaste case as an extremely dangerous precedent,\u201d Introvigne told PunchUp, our sister investigations Substack. \u201cIt is not about the content of the OneTaste courses and practices. It is about an American court that reintroduced the pseudo-scientific theory of brainwashing from the back door of trafficking laws, thus putting all religions that rely on volunteer labor in potential danger.\u201d Daedone\u2019s appeal is now before the Second Circuit.
