Founder of 'Orgasmic Meditation' Company Indicted for Forced Labor Scheme
Nicole Daedone, the founder of OneTaste, a sexual wellness company that teaches "orgasmic meditation," has been charged with forced labor conspiracy. Daedone and former head of sales Rachel Cherwitz were accused of inducing volunteers, contractors, and employees to incur debt to take courses that they claimed could heal sexual trauma and dysfunction. They also subjected OneTaste members to surveillance in communal homes, instructed them to engage in sex acts for "freedom and enlightenment," and failed to pay promised wages. Cherwitz was arrested on Tuesday, and Daedone is at large.
