The leader of NXIVM, Keith Raniere, remains in prison, but one of the highest-ranking members of his sex cult, actress Allison Mack, has been released. According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Mack was released from a federal prison in Dublin, California on Monday. This information was first reported by the Albany Times Union and confirmed by the AP. Mack, known for her role in the TV show Smallville, had pleaded guilty to racketeering charges related to the sex trafficking case and was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021.
Allison Mack was arrested in 2018 along with Keith Raniere and other NXIVM members. At her sentencing, US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis described her as an “essential accomplice” and a “willing and proactive ally” in Raniere’s manipulation of women into becoming sex slaves. However, Mack received a lighter sentence compared to the 120-year prison term given to Raniere. Judge Garaufis acknowledged that Mack had also been manipulated and felt captive, stating, “I don’t doubt that you were manipulated and also felt captive.”
Mack could have faced up to 17 years in prison, but her sentence was reduced due to her cooperation with prosecutors. In a letter she wrote before her sentencing, Mack expressed remorse for the harm caused by her actions and referred to her association with and loyalty to Raniere as the biggest mistake and greatest regret of her life. She emphasized her dedication to working towards healing those she had hurt and transforming herself into a more loving and compassionate person. (Read more Allison Mack stories.)
