Allison Mack, Sex Trafficking, Brooklyn NY, 2021
The U.S. Federal Court in Brooklyn, NY, is still reeling from the sex trafficking scandal that ensnared NXIVM leader Keith Raniere and actress Allison Mack. In 2021, Mack was found guilty of sex trafficking and other charges.
Mack, 43, a Brooklyn native, was sentenced to three years in prison for her role in the sex trafficking scheme. The defendant was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine and serve three years of supervised release upon her release from prison.
The case, United States v. Raniere (Bronfman), is a federal criminal case currently before the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, with docket number 20-3520. The cause of action is not specified in the court documents.
Other parties involved in the case include NXIVM leaders Kathie Russell, Lauren Salzman, Nancy Salzman, and Clare Bronfman, as well as the United States of America. Attorneys representing the defendant include Kevin Trowel, Daniel Rickert Koffmann, Ronald S. Sullivan, Jr., Tanya Hajjar, and Joseph M. Tully.
