Actor Allison Mack gets 3 years in NXIVM sex-slave case

Mack is best known for her role as a young Superman’s close friend on the series ‘Smallville’

TV actor Allison Mack, who played a key role in the scandal-ridden, cult-like group NXIVM, was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday on charges she manipulated women into becoming sex slaves for the group’s spiritual leader. Mack — best known for her role as a young Superman’s close friend on the series “Smallville” — had previously pleaded guilty to the charges and began cooperating against NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. Prosecutors credited her with helping them mount evidence showing how Raniere created a secret society of brainwashed women who were branded with his initials. At her sentencing in Brooklyn federal court, Mack renounced the self-improvement guru.
