(Ann Phyllis McCarthy)
Vidya, from South Africa, was already high up in the ranks in Pune One as one of Sheela's secretaries. She remained in a powerful position in Rajneeshpuram, "fourth-in-command", running Ramakrishna (human resources), based in Socrates.
In December 2002, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, and was sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of US$10,000. Charles Turner, the US Attorney who was the apparent target of the conspiracy, called the one-year prison sentence "laughable". In court statements, McCarthy stated "I cannot forgive myself for not being tougher at the time", and called her time with the group "psychological torture". [source]
