Smallville star turned sex cult “slave master” flipped on guru Keith Raniere by providing the feds with an audio recording of his discussing branding members, according to Variety.
Mack — who was at the centre of the NXIVM sex cult — cooperated with federal authorities in their sex probe of Raniere.
In a sentencing memo filed Monday, prosecutors asked Judge Nicholas Garaufis to give Mack, 38, a reduced sentence as reward for her cooperation.
“Although Mack could have provided even more substantial assistance had she made the decision to cooperate earlier, Mack provided significant, detailed and highly corroborated information which assisted the government in its prosecution,” prosecutors said in the memo obtained by Variety.
She is slated to be sentenced on June 30.
Mack pleaded guilty in April to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges that included extortion and forced labour. More serious sex trafficking charges were dropped.
Superman’s one-time pal admitted to being a major player in the cult’s super-secret DOS slave-master group. Some of the so-called sex slaves were branded like cattle with Raniere’s initials.
During his long reign as cult leader, followers were frequently blackmailed into having sex with him and others like Mack. The cult held onto highly-incriminating material, including raunchy photos and confessions.
But to save herself, she gave the feds the audiotape where Raniere used about branding the women.
“Do you think the person who’s being branded should be completely nude and sort of held to the table like a, sort of almost like a sacrifice?” Raniere asks in the recording.
“And the person should ask to be branded,” he adds. “Should say, ‘Please brand me, it would be an honour,’ or something like that. ‘An honour I want to wear for the rest of my life,’ I don’t know … And they should probably say that before they’re held down, so it doesn’t seem like they are being coerced.”
He is currently serving 120 years in federal prison.
