Smallville’s “Chloe Sullivan” Allison Mack yesterday in court plead “not guilty” to charges that she was involved in sex trafficking and forced labor as a major part of a “sex cult” led by Keith Raniere. If charged, Mack could face 15 years to life in prison.
The prosecution lawyers are very serious about the charges leveled against the former Smallville actor.
“Ms. Mack was one of the top members of a highly organized scheme which was designed to provide sex to [Raniere],” Assistant US Attorney Moira Penza said in court Friday. “Under the guise of female empowerment, she starved women until they fit her co-defendant’s sexual feminine ideal.”
For now, Mack has been denied bail as the first petition wasn’t sufficient. Her lawyers argue that she is not a flight risk as she came back to New York voluntarily from where she was in Mexico. A court drawing has been released showing a disheveled, weary, and gaunt look – a far cry from the glowing “Chloe Sullivan” that she played on TV.
The charges against Allison Mack are very serious and unfortunately, there is a lot of evidence stacked against her: Text messages, blog posts where she mentions her association with Keith Raniere, photos at NXIVM-related functions, and even a series of video interviews on YouTube where Mack gushingly interviews her “mentor.”
Yesterday’s court appearance also confirmed that Allison has married Battlestar Galactica actress Nicki Clyne, also a member of the “cult” and follower of Keith Raniere. Clyne was spotted in Mexico with Raniere and Mack when the cult leader was arrested a few weeks back.

Couldn't remember her for the current brunette photos but not I do. Wow. Just goes to show that the person next to you could have a dark, dark soul. If the proof is there, make this a benchmark that this type of crime has zero tolerance.
