'Smallville' stars used by alleged cult leader to recruit women

“Smallville” star Kristin Kreuk has broken her silence on her alleged involvement in the controversial organization that's been labeled a cult, NXIVM, and denied reports she helped recruit women as “sex slaves” into the group.

The women -- or “sex slaves” -- were reportedly put on a strict diet of about 500 to 800 calories a day in order to be thin for the group’s leader and co-founder Keith Raniere, also known as “The Vanguard.” The cult leader coerced the women into having sex with him and doing menial chores for “masters,” according to previous reports.

Artvoice reported Mack could be the next person arrested in the takedown of the controversial group. Mack is identified in a complaint filed in the Eastern District of New York as an “unnamed co-conspirator,” the Albany Times Union reported.

On Friday, both the Smallville actress and Keith Raniere were charged with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment. Raniere, the founder of the self-help group NXIVM and the alleged cult leader, was arrested last month.

Within NXIVM, there was reportedly a secret “sorority” called DOS, also known as “Lord/Master of the Obedient Female Companions.” Mack, 35, was allegedly a DOS Master who recruited and directed slaves to have sex with Raniere, also known as “Vanguard.”
