Sexual Wellness Company Founder Indicted on Forced Labor Charges for 'Orgasmic Meditation' Startup

Nicole Daedone, the founder of OneTaste, a San Francisco-based sexual wellness company, and Rachel Cherwitz, the former head of sales, have been indicted on charges of forced labor conspiracy. Prosecutors allege that the two women subjected volunteers, contractors, and employees to economic, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse, surveillance, indoctrination, and intimidation. The company gained notoriety for its practice of orgasmic meditation, and former members have accused the organization of having a darker side. If convicted, the two women could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
