Nxivm Sex-Cult 'Slave Master' Allison Mack Set To Be Sentenced Next Month, Faces 40 Years In Prison

Former Smallville actress Allison Mack will be handed her sentence next month for her role in the Nxivm sex cult.
The 38-year-old "slave master" is finally set to be sentenced on June 30 and could face up to 40 years in prison.
She pleaded not guilty in April 2019 to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges including extortion and forced labor.
Each charge carries a sentence of 20 years behind bars.
Mack was originally scheduled for sentencing in September 2020.
The hearing was extended in order to give parole officers time to write up a pre-sentencing court for the judge.
Mack has been accused of being Nxivm leader Keith Raniere's right-hand woman. Raniere -- who touted themselves as a self-help group -- was actually designed to fulfill his sexual desires, according to prosecutors.
The former Smallville actress confessed to being part of the slave-master sex cult.
Some members were branded with Raniere's initials and blackmailed into having sex with him and other group members.
If Mack's sentencing goes like the cult leader's, she will most likely get the maximum jail time.
Raniere was sentenced in October 2020 to 120 years in prison.
Mack isn't the only famous member that got caught up in Nxivm's downfall.
Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman -- who was accused of being another top member of the sex cult -- was sentenced to six years in prison.
Prosecutors originally asked for five.
Judge Nicholas Garaufis handed down Raniere and Bronfman's sentencing. He's also handling Mack's hearing.

Allison Mack was arrested by the FBI in April 2018.
According to prosecutors, the actress recruited women to join Nxivm and used blackmail in order to force them to engage in sexual activity with Raniere against their will.
Raniere allegedly paid Mack for her role in the cult.
Mack rose to fame as Chloe Sullivan on the WB/CW series Smallville. She also played Amanda on the FX series, Wilfred.
