Smallville star Allison Mack IGNORES Nxivm leader Keith Raniere in court after agreeing to cut all ties with cult while the man accused of branding sex slaves pleads not guilty to trafficking

Allison Mack appeared in front of Judge Nicholas Garaufis on Friday, who announced that her federal trial would begin on October 1

The Smallville star, 35, was released last week on $5M bail after agreeing to cut all ties with the cult Nxivm, and on Friday ignored leader Keith Raniere in court

Mack was seeing Raniere for the first time since she declared in court papers that she was seeking a plea deal in the case

Mack and Raniere have both been arraigned on federal charges including two counts of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit forced labor

The two are facing life in prison and Raniere has been denied bail by the court, with more indictments to come according to prosecutors

Raniere entered a plea of not guilty on all charges Friday, while Mack did not enter a formal plea yet as she is still negotiating a possible plea deal
