The FBI arrested Keith Raniere, the leader of alleged “sex cult” NXIVM (pronounced Nex-e-um) based in upstate New York, on Monday for charges of sex trafficking and forced labor.

Allegations against Raniere, called “Vanguard” by his followers, have been circulating for months, with multiple reports connecting Raniere to former “Smallville” star Allison Mack, 36 (pictured above), who is allegedly a member of the group and partner with Raniere in his criminal activities. The Albany Times Union reports that Mack is identified in the complaint as an “unnamed co-conspirator.”
