Cape Town – Lifetime has greenlit a movie based on the NXIVM sex cult.
Smallville actress Allison Mack made headlines in 2017 when she was accused of being a high-ranking member of a sex cult.
In April this year, she pleaded guilty to charges she was involved in a scheme to turn women into sex slaves for the spiritual leader, Keith Raniere of a cult-like upstate New York group, called NXIVM.
