About
Ivy Nevares addressed the court by audio at Raniere's sentencing, describing what she said were 17 years of exploitation and control. She distinguished consenting to an intimate relationship from consenting to deception, manipulation, or abuse, and said Raniere had demanded exclusive personal and professional commitments.
Nevares described prolonged shunning and said Raniere directed others to isolate her when she did not meet his demands. She also described restrictive dieting and said he ordered her to extend a 45-day fast by another 10 days. Her statement presented these experiences as practices that preceded DOS.
Earlier in the trial, questioning of Daniela addressed Nevares's relationship with Raniere and her isolation from the community. The court sustained objections to broad questions about the treatment of women and punishment of Nevares. Prosecutor Moira Penza then narrowed the inquiry to Daniela's observations and knowledge.
