I must take full responsibility for my conduct. I am very sorry for my role in this case. I am very sorry to my family and to the good people I hurt through my misguided adherence to [Nxivm leader] Keith Raniere’s teachings,” Mack continued after composing herself.
Sporting a beige sweater, black pants, leopard-print shoes and a brown straw piercing her bun, the 36-year-old confessed to being part of secret master-slave group within Nxivm called DOS.
Mack had been facing sex trafficking charges — prosecutors allege women in DOS were branded with Raniere’s initials and groomed to have sex with him — but they were not among the counts she pleaded to Monday.
However, she still admitted to keeping a slave and that she instructed women in the group “to perform services for me.”
