Larry Ray, who was accused of controlling and abusing a group of students at Sarah Lawrence College, was convicted on all 15 counts in federal court today
Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer. Sketch: Jane Rosenberg Larry Ray was convicted in federal court in lower Manhattan today.He was charged with 15 counts, including racketeering, extortion, sex trafficking, forced labor, use of interstate commerce to promote unlawful activity, money laundering, and tax evasion. He was convicted on each of them.
In court, his victims testified at length about violence, mind control, forced labor, and forced prostitution. The trial was paused twice for unknown medical reasons; both times, Ray departed the courthouse in an ambulance. Prosecutors were able to tell a story based just as much on video and audio recordings culled from Ray’s own devices as it was on his victims’ testimonies. Those recordings left Ray’s defense with a challenge: How do you explain a video, for example, of a grown man gripping a college student’s tongue with pliers? Their answer: paranoia. Lenox said Ray was led astray by the “wild stories” and “nearly unbelievable tall tales” the students told him.
