Regrann from @candice_renaex - ‘#Smallville’ actress #AllisonMack faces up to 15 years in prison for procuring young children for members of an elite #Hollywood pedophile ring. The actress was released from federal custody Tuesday afternoon on a $5 million bail as she faces charges ranging from #conspiracy to commit forced labor to #childsextrafficking. Foxnews.com reports: Mack, 35, who appeared in a tan jail uniform alongside her lawyers, was silent except for saying “yes, your honor” to questions from Judge Viktor Pohorelsky. Mack was arrested last week, along with co-defendant Keith Raniere, in connection to her role in an alleged sex cult tied to the self help organization #NXIVM. As a condition of her bail, Mack is to have no connection with any current or former NXIVM members and will be monitored by an electronic bracelet. Upon her release, Mack will be returning to #California to live with her parents until her next court appearance on May 3. Her mother, Melinda, was present in court to sign the documents, while her father has until May 4 to sign. To reach the $5 million stipulates in the bail, Mack and her family had to put up their homes, assets and retirement plans. During Mack’s first court appearance last week, it was revealed she married “Battlestar Galactica” star Nicki Clyne, who was also rumored to be part of NXIVM. Clyne and Mack were spotted in Mexico when Raniere was hunted down by police and arrested at a $10,000-a-week villa they were reportedly hiding out last month. Founded in 1998, NXIVM promoted Raniere’s teachings as a kind of mystical, executive coaching designed to help people get the most out of life. Enrollees in its Executive Success Programs paid handsomely for his advice. On its website, NXIVM bills itself as a “community guided by humanitarian principles” that “helps people realize the potential that exists within them” — a far cry from the sex cult that its detractors say Raniere ran. “Mack was the primary recruiter of young slaves for Raniere,” Frank Parlato, NXIVM’s former publicist, told Fox News. “She was both a victim and victimizer, a mastermind and a useful idiot.” - #regrann
