An actress from the US TV series"Smallville"has been arrested on charges of sex trafficking for recruiting women to a purported self-help group in which they were forced to have sex with its leader, US prosecutors say.
Allison Mack, 35, who was arrested Friday, recruited women for what described itself as a female mentorship group, US attorney ichard Donoghue said.
The leader of the group was one Keith Raniere, also known as"Vanguard,"it said.
"The victims were then exploited, both sexually and for their labor, to the defendants'benefit,"the prosecutor said.
The women were branded with a symbol containing the initials of the leader of the group, which was based in Albany in upstate New York.
Rainiere was arrested on sex trafficking charges in Mexico in March.
The statement said that during the past 20 years, Raniere established a series of purported self-help programs within his umbrella organization, called"Nxivm"(pronounced NEX-i-um). It has operated centers in the United States, Mexico, Canada and South America.
