Keith Raniere supporters, victims in court for Nxivm case sentencing

It was a twisted red carpet Tuesday outside Brooklyn federal court — where supporters and victims of Nxivm sex-trafficking svengali Keith Raniere prepared to see him sentenced to up to life behind bars.

TV’s “Battlestar Galatica” actress Nicki Clyne showed up to back her former lover, who was convicted of trafficking, racketeering and other raps in the horrific case last year.

She was followed shortly after by India Oxenberg, the daughter of blue-blood Hollywood “Dynasty” actress Catherine Oxenberg, who says she was raped by Raniere and among the sex “slaves” branded with his initials.

“I hope the judge gives him life in prison — I think he’s a dangerous man and that if he’s released, he will do exactly what he’s always done,’’ India told “CBS This Morning’’ in video that aired Tuesday. “And that puts me and other women and men at risk.”

India has said former TV “Smallville” star Allison Mack — who is also Clyne’s wife — recruited her into a secret master-slave group within the Albany-based organization.

“It’s hard to explain, but they’re like invisible chains,’’ Oxenberg said of the group’s onetime grip on her.

“I know that they’re not there, but you feel them, and they’re there because of what you’ve been told about yourself.”

Raniere, 60, portrayed himself as a self-help guru with the brains of Einstein and wisdom of Ghandi.

But prosecutors said that in reality, the creepy sicko sexually, physically and mentally abused scores of women.

Still, Raniere, who faces 15 years to life behind bars, has a loyal legion of fans, including Clyne and bankroller Clare Bronfman, the heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune.

Clyne penned a letter of support ahead of Raniere’s sentencing, revealing that she was his “partner” for a decade and begging a judge for leniency.

She was among about 20 of Raniere’s pals who showed up for court Tuesday, including Marc Elliot, who claimed he overcame Tourette syndrome thanks to Nxivm.

“I think Keith is a good man who has helped the lives of thousands and thousands of people, and currently there is only one narrative in the media because another side has been completely silenced until only a couple of days ago,” Elliot said.
