Rick Alan Ross is the most widely known cult expert in the world today. He has exposed notorious cult leaders such as Waco Davidian “messiah” David Koresh and NXIVM sex cult leader Keith Raniere. Ross’s career spans more than forty years, and he has done hundreds of cult deprogramming interventions in the US and internationally to rescue victims. Scientology critic Tony Ortega once wrote, “Clients of deprogrammer Rick Ross call him a savior. Perhaps that’s why people he’s branded cult leaders want to crucify him.”
