Everyone knows about Allison Mack's alleged involvement in the long-rumored sex cult Nxivm, and the more we find facts about her case, the more disturbed we get.

She was arrested for forcing a self-help cult in which women are sold, branded and coerced into prostitution.

The 335-year old who is best known for her role as Chloe Sullivan on “Smallville.” She was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit forced labor. She may face prison time up to 15 years.

Mack appeared in Brooklyn Federal Court following her arrest for sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and conspiracy to commit forced labor. As per the court documents, Mack “aggressively recruited DOS slaves, who were attractive young women.”

According to the docs, Mack had women “provide them with naked photographs, assets, criminal confessions and other damaging information, known as collateral, and she would perform ceremonies in which her slaves were branded. She would place her hands on the slaves’ chests and told them to ‘feel the pain’ and to ‘think of their master,’ as slaves cried in pain.”

Barbara Bouchey, who dated alleged cult leader Keith Raniere for almost a decade, opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about her experience with Mack in NXIVM.

“My guess is Alison was unaware of the inner workings and operations in their corruption, fraud in the legal cases, tax fraud etc because I was totally unaware of it in the nine years I was involved — and I am even a financial expert,” Bouchey, who left NXIVM around 2010, told Us. “Keith is very skilled at concealing, compartmentalizing, telling secrets, and not allowing people to know the big picture. Therefore, Allison may have only know the good aspects of the program. Then [she] became intimately involved with Keith believing that was a good thing.”

“I recall Allison telling Us Weekly that she grew up in a very sexually liberated family who used to walk around naked or go to naked community beaches,” she continued. “What Keith propagates is one of the hardest issues to work through to evolve our souls is our jealousy, fear, anger and possessive nature when in an intimate relationship. Especially if our significant other has sex with someone else.”

Raniere reportedly had a group of 15 to 20 women whom he had sexual relationships with. “So being in multiple relationships with Keith could help work through these issues becoming more evolved and loving,” Bouchey added. “Plus he’s portrayed in some ways as a spiritual guru and passed along kundalini.”

Mack was released on a $5 million bail bond and sentenced to house arrest. She is allowed to live with her parents in California. According to the court documents, the actress is permitted to use only a cell phone approved by the government to “make and receive calls to and from phone numbers agreed to by counsel.”

Since her arrest, various stories have come out revealing that Mack may have tried to recruit women including British actress Emma Watson from Harry Potter movie, and American singer Kelly Clarkson, and many other feminist writers into a group that she referred as a “human development and women’s movement.” on Twitter. The group was allegedly Nxivm, an upstate New York alleged sex cult was ran by a man named Keith Raniere, also known as “The Vanguard.”
