AceShowbiz - Actress Allison Mack, who is known for her role as Chloe Sullivan on "Smallville", made headlines after news of her getting arrested for alleged sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy broke. She was indicted for an alleged leading role in the NXIVM sex cult, which leader Keith Raniere was arrested late last month in Mexico.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of New York, both Mack and Reniere were accused of branding their victims and forcing them to participate in sex acts through the various self-help programs that Raniere established within his umbrella organization, NXIVM. Mack was allegedly "one of the women in the first level of the pyramid immediately below Raniere."
Following the arrest, fellow actress Samia Shoaib revealed that she was approached by Mack as she tried to lure her into the twisted world of the alleged sex cult. The Pakistan-born actress alleged that Mack sent her overly friendly and frantic emails in attempt to get her in a "women's circle" back in March 2013.
While Mack didn't seem like a bad person, Shoaib said that one email stuck out to her the most. "Thank you for last night! I had a lovely time with you and [your friend]. You are both delicious women," Mack allegedly wrote in an email after their final dinner in the same year.
