Written by SOURCE on June 30, 2021
Smallville actress Allison Mack has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for her involvement in NXIVM, the alleged sex cult founded by Keith Raniere, People reports.
Mack first pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges in 2019, and was facing up to 40 years behind bars. The sentencing also comes with a $20,000 fine, and was announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York on Wednesday.
Prosecutors requested in a recent sentencing memo that Mack get a relaxed sentence because she “provided substantial assistance to the government” in the case. Earlier this month, she gave authorities access to a tape where Raniere, the leader of the alleged abusive sex cult, spoke about branding members, or “slaves,” of the cult with his initials.
