About a year ago, Mack was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit forced labor. Keith Raniere, the founder of NXIVM, had been arrested a month earlier; and Mack previously pled not guilty to the myriad of charges against her.
According to prosecutors, she recruited women into NXIVM, which was ostensibly a self-help group. Not only was the organization tantamount to a pyramid scheme, but Raniere formed a sex cult within NXIVM. Apparently, the main purpose of this secret sect was to groom sexual partners for Raniere. The group was called "DOS," which is an acronym for a Latin phrase. The rough translation is "Lord/Master of the Obedient Female Companions.” Raniere was the leader and sole male member of the group.
Now, report have surface that Allison Mack has pleaded guilty to the charges.
The actress admitted to recruiting women into NXIVM under the guise of joining a female mentorship program. Rather than what they signed up for, these women found themselves reduced to sex slaves who were literally branded with Raniere’s initials. There are two anonymous women mentioned in the indictment against Mack, and the actress faces up to 20 years in prison for each charge.
According to Vulture , a tearful Mack pled guilty to to one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of racketeering, stating, “ I have come to the conclusion that I must take full responsibility for my conduct and that’s why I am pleading guilty today. ” The actress explained that she joined NXIVM “ to find a purpose” and that she “ believed Keith Raniere’s intentions were to help people.” She now realizes that she was wrong.
