MOSCOW, 6 Jul. Smallville star Allison Mack has been released early, writes NBC News, citing a list of prisoners on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. The actress' lawyer and representatives of the Bureau did not respond to a media request for comment.
In June 2021, Mack was sentenced to three years in prison after she pleaded guilty in the NXIVM sex cult case. The actress recruited women and forced them to become sex slaves to cult leader Keith Raniere. Mack could get 14 to 17.5 years behind bars. The term was reduced due to her cooperation with the investigation.
Mack said she was sorry for what she had done and apologized to the victims.
Former members of NXIVM said women were starved to death, branded with the initials of the cultist, and forced to have sex with him.
In 2019, Mack pleaded guilty to extortion and coercion to the labor of sex cult victims. She was considered the right hand of the founder of NXIVM. The media wrote that the actress also tried to recruit the star of «Harry Potter» Emma Watson.
It was previously reported that actor Anton Paderin was given a suspended sentence for a drunken brawl with a policeman in Pulkovo.
