Journals allegedly written by the government’s star witness in 2015 were not authentic, prosecutors now say.
—
It’s not every day you see federal prosecutors admit they were wrong. But the fishiness of evidence from a key government witness could no longer be ignored, it seems.
In February, I wrote about the weird, weak federal case against OneTaste, a company centered around the practice of orgasmic meditation. OneTaste was dubbed an “orgasm cult” and pilloried in the media, including a Netflix documentary produced by actress Lena Dunham, and “conspiracy to commit forced labor” charges have been filed against OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone and former head of sales Rachel Cherwitz.
Key evidence in that case included journals allegedly penned by former OneTaste employee Ayries Blanck just after leaving the company. These journals also figured prominently in the 2022 Netflix documentary, Orgasm Inc.
The journal entries were always suspect—and now the government apparently agrees.
