Actress Allison Mack, known for her role in the TV series “Smallville,” has been released from prison ahead of schedule after serving time for her involvement in a s** cult called NXIVM.
According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Mack was released from a federal lockup in California on Monday, more than a year before her three-year sentence was due to end.
In April 2019, the 40-year-old actress pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges.
She confessed to being one of the top-level masters of convicted leader Keith Raniere within the Albany-based NXIVM for nearly a decade.
Mack faced a potential sentence of 14 to 17 1/2 years in prison but decided to cooperate with authorities just before her trial.
Mack provided the FBI with emails, documents, and an audio recording of Raniere discussing his plan to brand his victims with his initials.
Raniere, who was convicted in June 2019, is currently serving a 120-year sentence for s** trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy.
His victims included a 15-year-old girl whom he took explicit photos of when he took her virginity.
Another victim testified that she was tied to a table, blindfolded, and subjected to an unwanted s** act by another “slave” while Raniere watched and filmed the assault.
Clare Bronfman, an heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune and another NXIVM deputy, also pleaded guilty before Raniere’s trial.
Bronfman, worth an estimated half a billion dollars, financially supported Raniere’s ventures and received a six-year prison sentence.
The secret society within NXIVM, known as “Lord/Master of the Obedient Female Companions” or “The Vow,” operated as a pyramid scheme of abuse.
Mack was one of eight top-level masters in a secret sub-group called DOS, whose purpose was to provide Raniere with s**ual partners.
She deceived women into joining the group by claiming it was a women’s empowerment organization or sorority, concealing Raniere’s involvement.
Once women were recruited, Mack admitted to extorting them through blackmail and psychological manipulation, using their fear of exposure to control them.
She obtained “collateral” from members, including n^de photos and damaging confessions, which she threatened to release if they didn’t comply with her demands.
One victim compared Mack to Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein.
During Mack’s sentencing, a victim named Joan described how the actress had preyed on her vulnerability and manipulated her into becoming a s** slave for Raniere.
Joan labeled Mack an evil sociopath and a danger to society.
Lawyers representing Mack were unavailable for comment.
