"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.
