Allison Mack is a free woman — unlike the scores of women she tricked into joining NXIVM.

Actress Allison Mack has been released from jail early after being sentenced to three years behind bars for her involvement in the sex cult NXIVM.

Allison Mack, the former actress and convicted sex cult member, has been released from prison, ET has learned. According to online records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the 40-year-old was released from FCI Dublin, a low-security federal prison in the East Bay area outside San Francisco, on Monday, July 3, after serving nearly two of her three-year sentence for charges related to her involvement in NXIVM. Mack first entered prison in September 2021, and served out her jail time at the same facility where both Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were sent in 2019 and 2020, respectively, following convictions their for participation in the college admission bribery scandal.

Jordan Moreau Allison Mack, a former actor on “Smallville” who was a key member in leader Keith Raniere’s NXIVM cult, was released from prison on Monday after serving two years of her three-year sentence. She pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges in 2021. Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison in October 2020 on charges of sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy and racketeering. Mack recruited and groomed women to the NXIVM cult, and Raniere took them as sexual partners. Some of the women were branded with Raniere’s initials and were sexually abused by him while they were members of the group. In Mack’s sentencing in June 2021, a federal judge called her an “essential accomplice” to Raniere.
