Journalist and blogger Frank Parlato, who was thefirst person to report about the alleged branding of female members, previously told PEOPLE that Mack and Clyne were married in February 2017.
Mack pled guilty to one count of racketeering and one count of racketeering conspiracy in April 2019.
Prosecutors had accused her of recruiting sex slaves for Raniere and its subgroup, DOS, described as an all-female secret society of “masters” and “slaves” in which women allegedly were forced to be sexually subservient to Raniere.
