The founder of OneTaste, a company that promoted 'orgasmic meditation' as a form of self-discovery and personal growth, has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for forcing employees into labor. The company's practices were deemed as a form of sex trafficking, with employees being coerced into participating in sex acts as part of their work.
Forced Labor Practices Uncovered
An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor found that OneTaste employees were subjected to forced labor, including being made to participate in 'orgasmic meditation' sessions as a form of 'team-building' and 'trust-building' exercises.
The employees were also made to pay for the privilege of participating in these sessions, with some being forced to spend thousands of dollars on the company's programs.
