Allison Mack's 'Smallville' Co-Star Reacts to Her Involvement in 'Sex Cult' NXIVM: 'She Wanted Attention'
View StoryThe U.S. Attorney's office told TMZ Mack is facing up to 40 years -- 20 for each count. Prosecutors have accused Mack of being the "pimp" for the group. Mack is also believed to have been second-in-command of NXIVM.
"I must take full responsibility for my conduct," Mack said while sobbing in court Monday. "I am very sorry for my role in this case. I am very sorry to my family and to the good people I hurt through my misguided adherence to Keith Raniere's teachings."
Mack was nearby when Raniere was taken into custody last March in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, where he was hiding out. Mack was later arrested and extradited to the U.S., where she was given a GPS ankle monitor as a term of her bail.

“Because of [Allison Mack's] lack of a previous criminal record and sentencing guidelines she will probably land in the 3-5 year sentencing range... this is a tremendously fortunate plea deal for Mack since she will avoid all sex trafficking charges”https://t.co/E0ker1lypz pic.twitter.com/d7WGFS1nqd
