Prosecutors are seeking a life prison term for an ex-convict who extorted and forced into labor or prostitution some women he met at his daughter's on-campus housing at Sarah Lawrence College.
FILE - This undated file photo provided by the U.S. Attorney's office shows Lawrence Ray, the ex-convict charged with sex trafficking and extortion for forcing young women into prostitution or forced labor after winning trust by posing as a father-figure. In a submission in Manhattan federal court late Friday, Jan. 13, 2023, prosecutors are seeking a life prison term for Ray.
Ray was convicted last April of using threats and violence to enrich himself with millions of dollars as he ruined the lives of his daughter’s friends, watching them descend “into self-hatred, self-harm and suicidal attempts under his coercive control,” prosecutors said.His lawyers have argued for leniency, saying he should face 15 years behind bars.
Ray did not testify. Twice, the trial was interrupted as he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance for undisclosed illnesses.
