Their Mormon community does have ties to NXIVM. That's according to The New York Post, which is reporting that the LeBaron family's community is where ex-NXIVM leader Keith Raniere "recruited young women to work as nannies in an upstate New York compound run by the accused cult — suggesting at least in part that the jobs would get the girls away from their home region’s drug violence, according a man hired by Raniere to produce a documentary about the group."

The Houston Chronicle reports that NXIVM's ties to the Mormon community came up in May during NXIVM defector and documentary filmmaker Mark Vicente's testimony. According to the outlet, Vicente's testimony revealed how Raniere "created a 'girls school' for Mexican teenagers, many of whom were recruited from within the LeBaron community to live in the Albany area under the care of a 'first-line slave' for Raniere."

What is NXIVM accused of? NXIVM is a so-called "sex cult" located in upstate New York. The group's nefarious inner workings, including the use of slaves and iron branding, were revealed over the course of several months as federal prosecutors pursued cases against its highest-ranking members, including Raniere.
