Mack had been given a 36-month sentence by a federal judge on racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges related to his role in the NXIVM cult.
Allison Mackwho was an actress in the series “Smallville” and high-ranking member of the Nxivm cult, who was sentenced to 3 years in prison in 2021 for sex trafficking, was released Monday, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Mack had received a 36-month sentence by a federal judge on racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges related to his role in the cult, which prosecutors had described as recruiting and grooming women to be used as sexual partners by the NXIVM Leader, Keith Raniere.
The actress pleaded guilty in 2019 to racketeering and conspiracy charges and received a relatively short prison sentence for assisting prosecutors in the case against Raniere, who in 2020 was sentenced to 120 years in prison on sex trafficking-related charges. .
US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis previously called Mack an “essential accomplice” and a “willing and proactive ally” of Raniere, but also said: “I have no doubt that she was manipulated and felt captive as well.”
At his sentencing, Mack told the judge that “I made decisions that I will always regret” and that she was filled with “remorse and guilt.” She spent 11 years in the NXIVM cult and called Raniere’s “twisted influence” a form of brainwashing. Mack originally faced between 14 and 17 years in prison, but his cooperation with authorities in prosecuting Raniere reduced his sentence.
Mack, Raniere and the cult of NXIVM gained public recognition with the popular true crime documentary series “The Vow”which premiered on HBO in 2020. It chronicled the history of NXIVM and included the arrests of its key members.
