Actress Allison Mack Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Role in Nxivm Sex Cult | PEOPLE

More than two years after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy and racketeering charges, Allison Mack — the disgraced Smallville actress who would become a prominent leader within Nxivm, the dismantled, Keith Raniere-led self-help group some have characterized as a cult — was sentenced this morning to 3 years in federal prison, PEOPLE learns.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York announced the sentence, which also includes a $20,000 fine.

Mack, 38, faced a maximum of 40 years behind bars before stepping into the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn for her 11 a.m. sentencing, though federal sentencing guidelines recommended a lower punishment of 14 to 17 1/2 years.
