In the middle of the trial of the USA v Rachel Cherwitz and Nicole Daedone, the BBC made an editorial decision to “suspend access” to Episode 9 of its podcast Orgasm Inc. – a 10-episode series deeply slanted against the defendants.
The two women are on trial on a single count of forced labor conspiracy.
The BBC podcast had a golden goose, and her name was Ayries Blanck. Episode 9 was her story.
Writing a journal in 2015 but starting the actual typing in 2022 is commitment.
Imagine a story so powerful it held up an entire prosecution. A voice so central it climaxed the BBC’s true-crime masterpiece. Now —Episode 9 disappears like a dream.
Ayries Blanck—AK Ares Milligan – who once texted about sleeping with five men in front of her boyfriend—has cast herself as the pilgrim in the brothel.
Here’s the setup: the DOJ had themselves a star witness—Ayries Blanck. She’s a victim of the defendants who she said made her have sex. Then at the last-minute prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York acknowledged that Ayries lied to the feds, lied to prosecutors, lied to the American people.
Blanck said she wrote a journal in 2015. Prosecutors described the journal as highly trustworthy. They said her journal was a map of pain, of sex, of wounds and whispered commands. They waved it around like it was the Magna Carta.
That position shifted following interviews in which Blanck admitted her account of the journals’ creation was false. The government was forced to admit they were sold a bag of crap!

Meanwhile, in a federal courtroom shaped like a toaster, prosecutors still plan to introduce Ayries’ story without Ayries. They plan to introduce her through another woman. Brooke Sheffer AKA Anthia Gillick.
Same bullshit, different mouth.
On Friday, the judge asked prosecutors to clarify the scope of Gillick’s testimony.
The prosecution said Gillick would recount claims made by Ayries Blanck, including that she was instructed to have sex with 30 men in 30 days.
But wait—it’s not Gillick’s story. She wasn’t there. Gillick only knows what Ayries claimed. Gillick is just the delivery system. A warm-blooded vessel of hearsay. This was Ayries Blanck’s fantasy.
Ayries Blanck lied when she said she wrote journals about bad times in 2015 when she left OneTaste, a San Francisco school that teaches Orgasmic meditation. She actually wrote them in 2022 – and it does make a difference.
So now what? They can’t use Ayries so thety say, “Oh no biggie, we got backup witnesses!”
Yeah. Sure. Let’s trust those witnesses too. Why not?
Brooke Sheffer will testify using the name Anthia Gillick.
Bogus Journal
The journal was once the cornerstone of a prosecution. Blanck at first claimed she wrote it in 2015. Then—something strange. The pages quote books from the future. She quoted a 2019 book in a journal she claimed to write in 2015.
As a result, prosecutors informed the court that Blanck would not be called as a witness in the trial of Daedone and Cherwitz, citing her lack of credibility.
But for more than a years it sat there like a holy book—fingers trembling, voices rising, prosecutors pointing. But it wasn’t real.
A friend now takes the stand, hoping memory can stand in for truth. In the courtroom, they call it “state of mind.” Outside, they call it a lie.
Ayries made up a journal and they ran with it. Now she’s radioactive, so they trot out her friend.
“Tell the jury what Ayries told you!” Yeah, hearsay. But it’s ok—because they’re the government.
And the BBC? They’re wiping egg off their face—slowly.
The prosecution? Truth is not the goal. Conviction is.
Anyway—BBC took their story down.
And as for the government, reports indicate, the prosecutors are failing at proving brainwashing is a tangible crime.
