Allison Mack wept in court as she admitted her crimes and apologised to the women involved. Photo: APTV actress Allison Mack has pleaded guilty to charges she was involved in a scheme to turn women into sex slaves for the spiritual leader of a cult-like upstate New York group. The development that came on the same day jury selection began for a federal trial in the case. The actress is to be sentenced September 11 this year on two racketeering counts that each carry maximum terms of 20 years in prison. Defence attorneys have insisted any relationship between Raniere and the alleged victims, including an unidentified actress and other women expected to testify against him at trial, was consensual.
