A teary Allison Mack pleaded guilty to two federal counts Monday in the NXIVM sex-cult case.
Mack attended court in dark relaxed-fit pants and a creamy mock-neck sweater.
At the beginning of her allocution, Mack explained in part what drew her to NXIVM.
Many of the members were wonderful people and some of whom, I now realize, were not.
I truly believed I found a group of individuals who believed as I did.
I believed Keith Ranieres intentions were to help people, she said.
She said she obtained collateral embarrassing information about several women so they would go along with NXIVMs demands.
Im very sorry for the victims of this case, theSmallvilleactress said.
Im very sorry for who Ive hurt through my misguided adherence to Keith Ranieres teachings.
I know that I am and will be a better person because of this, Mack said.
The proceeding came in the wake of recentcourthouse theatricsand ongoing expectations that Mack would take a plea before trial.
