Leaders of “orgasmic meditation” company OneTaste convicted in forced labor trial

“The leaders of a US sex-focused women’s wellness company that promoted ‘orgasmic meditation’ have been convicted of federal forced labor charges. A Brooklyn jury on Monday found Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste Inc., and Rachel Cherwitz, the California-based company’s former sales director, guilty after deliberating for less than two days following a five-week trial. The two each face up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing due later. Prosecutors argued the two women ran a years-long scheme that groomed adherents –many of them victims of sexual trauma – to do their bidding. They said Daedone, 57, and Cherwitz, 44, used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and indoctrination to force OneTaste members into sexual acts they found uncomfortable or repulsive, such as having sex with prospective investors or clients.” (06/10/25)
