Sex cult leader Larry Ray’s top lieutenant to face sentencing Wednesday
the group of young people for nearly a decade and extorted huge sums of money from them, prosecutors showed at his Manhattan federal court trial.
During that time, Pollok became a top lieutenant to the fiend and collected cash from his victims, including Claudia Drury, a former Sarah Lawrence student who Ray forced into prostitution. In one particularly disturbing encounter, Pollok taunted Drury and watched as Ray tortured her for hours in a Manhattan hotel room because he feared she had grown too close to one of her Johns.
Attorneys for Pollok urged Judge Liman to impose a non-prison sentence, arguing she was groomed and tortured by Ray during her time under his control. “Ray groomed Isabella, at first by listening and paying attention to her. Ray then became her lover and convinced her of the need to explore her sexuality,” the defense attorneys wrote. “He ‘counseled’ her and became her life mentor. His techniques, well established tools of coercive control, easily bonded Isabella to him. Isabella did whatever Ray directed,” they added.
