‘Smallville’ actor Allison Mack released from prison for role as ‘slave master’ in Nxivm sex cult

“Smallville” actress Allison Mack has been released from federal prison after serving less than two years behind bars for her role as a “slave master” in the upstate Nxivm sex cult.

Mack, 40, was sprung from the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California outside of San Francisco Monday, Bureau of Prison records show.

The TV actress was sentenced to three years in prison in June 2021 after pleading guilty for her role in helping to brainwash women into becoming sex slaves for Nxivm leader Keith Raniere.

Mack — who surrendered in September 2021 — was presumably released 14 months early for good behavior. She must still serve another three years of supervised release.

The star avoided a much heftier sentence that could have been as high as 14 to 17 1/2 years by cooperating with prosecutors and pleading guilty to racketeering and conspiracy to commit extortion and forced labor in April 2019.

And while Mack — Raniere’s right-hand woman — had been prepared to testify against the Svengali-like cult guru, she was never called to the witness stand.

But she and other cooperators helped secure a conviction against Raniere, 62, who was ultimately sentenced to 120 years behind bars for masterminding the twisted creed called DOS — which stands for Dominus Obsequious Sororium — or “master over slave women.”

The group’s victims were subjected to branding and starvation and forced to have sex with Raniere and to carry out tasks for the leaders. The women endured the treatment in part because the leaders kept “collateral” like nude photos of them.

Another Nxivm member, Seagram’s liquor heiress Clare Bronfman, is still serving a six-year-and-seven-month sentence after also taking a guilty plea.

Mack’s ex-wife, “Battlestar Galactica” actress Nicki Clyne, was also a part of Raniere’s inner-circle and was in a 10-year relationship with him. She was not charged in the case.

Mack’s lawyers did not return a request for comment Wednesday.
