Seagram's heiress Clare Bronfman is heading to prison for her role in an abusive cult that turned women into sex slaves. Newser reports a judge sentenced Clare Bronfman to 81 months in prison and fined her $500,000 on Wednesday, on charges of racketeering and conspiracy. Bronfman brought young women into the US for the Nxivm cult and used part of her $210 million fortune to silence the group's enemies with legal action. Bronfman still publicly supports cult leader Keith Raniere, who was found guilty last year of charges including sex-trafficking and racketeering. I have made mistakes, I'm sorry for the time and resources I have taken from the court. Clare Bronfman
