'Smallville' Actress Involved in Nxivm Scandal Released from Prison

Allison Mack, the former "Smallville" actress who recruited women for the cultlike group Nxivm, has been released from federal prison after serving two years of a three-year sentence on racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges. Mack assisted prosecutors in convicting Nxivm's leader, Keith Raniere, of sex trafficking and other crimes. She had used her status as an actress to lure women into the group and was described by a federal judge as an "essential accomplice." Mack pleaded guilty in 2019 and received a shorter sentence after providing evidence against Raniere.
