NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman has been released early from federal lockup — less than 20 months into her three-and-a-half year sentence for playing a senior role in Keith Raniere’s twisted sex cult.
Salzman, 69 — who in July asked a judge to free her from prison over breast cancer concerns — has been transferred from a Hazelton, West Virginia lockup to a halfway house in Pittsburgh, Pa., according to federal Bureau of Prisons records.
Salzman had asked Brooklyn federal judge Nicholas Garaufis to immediately release her after she claimed she had been waiting 16 1/2 weeks to receive an MRI following a concerning ultrasound from March 23.
But Salzman was eligible for compassionate release on September 7 to either home confinement or a halfway house if she stayed out of trouble under the 2018 First Step Act.
