For those who don't believe Hollywood is involved in forced sex trafficking, you better believe it !!!
Apparently a former star of the show, 'Smallville,' Allison Mack, was apprehended & charged with being second in command of a sex cult, led by Keith Raniere. Officials released her Tuesday on a $5 Million bond, provided she stay on house arrest until her trial.
In court, Mack pleaded not guilty to a variety of charges, including forced labor conspiracy & sex trafficking as part of the dark activities in the NXIVM cult.

Mack’s arrest comes after Keith Raniere, the alleged cult kingpin, was apprehended in Mexico last month. As The Daily Beast previously reported, NXIVM started off as an empowerment program, whose leader, Raniere, used his charisma and teachings to curry favor with wealthy individuals and minor celebrities. While the word “cult” surfaced in the press as early as 2003, it wasn’t until The New York Times published a chilling exposé in October 2017 that more severe allegations of branding female members and threatening to blackmail them emerged. The Times’ story focused on a group within the group—an elite and secret sisterhood of which Mack is alleged to be the top recruiter.

In legal documents, the United States attorney writes that the defendant, aka Allison Mack, “is charged with using force, fraud, and coercion to recruit and maintain DOS slaves, and instructing those slaves to engage in sexual acts with Raniere, among other assignments. The defendant aggressively recruited DOS slaves and required those slaves to recruit slaves of their own.”
DOS, which loosely translates to Master Over the Slave Women, is also frequently referred to as “The Vow.” For their respective roles in DOS, Keith Raniere and Allison Mack are being charged with sex trafficking conspiracy, sex trafficking, and conspiracy to commit forced labor. Legal documents refer to DOS’ practice of collecting “collateral” from female members otherwise known as “slaves.” “Slaves” allegedly gave their “masters” “naked photographs, assets, criminal confessions, and other damaging information.” The prosecution is alleging that “slaves” believed that their collateral would be released if they spoke out about the group, left DOS, or failed to adequately tend to their duties. One woman, referred to only as “Jane Doe 1,” was allegedly directed by Allison Mack to have sex with Keith Raniere.
According to legal docs submitted on the subject of Mack’s bail, “DOS masters, including the defendant, groomed DOS slaves for sex with Raniere by requiring DOS slaves to adhere to extremely restrictive diets and not remove their pubic hair (in accordance with Raniere’s sexual preferences) and by requiring them to remain celibate and not to masturbate. DOS masters, including the defendant, who directed their slaves to have sex with Raniere, received financial benefits in the form of continued status and participation in DOS, as well as financial opportunities from Raniere.”
Citing the severity of the charges against Raniere and Mack, who are each facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years to life if convicted, the prosecution argued that Mack should be given a “substantial bail package” and be confined to her home with electronic monitoring. They’ve further posited that, given her access to DOS “slave’s” collateral and power within the community, there is a particular threat of Mack directing others to act on her behalf and/or intimidating witnesses.
Mack’s attorney has previously pushed back against the notion that the defendant is a flight risk, emphasizing that she voluntarily returned to the United States from Mexico.
So, how do you feel about Hollywood now?
