Lawrence V. Ray moved into his daughter’s dorm in 2010 — and prosecutors say he conscripted some of her roommates into a sex cult

Prosecutors say he moved into his daughter’s dormitory and then began targeting her friends, eventually indoctrinating them and subjecting them to “sexual and psychological manipulation and physical abuse” for nearly a decade.
In the New York article, several former classmates of Ray’s daughter, Talia, recall him moving into her shared two-story house on campus in September of 2010, and gradually insinuating himself into her roommates’ lives — often by insisting that they were emotionally fragile or at risk of suicide. At the end of that school year, Talia and four of her friends moved into an apartment in Manhattan with Ray; another young woman, the sister of one of the students, moved in a few months later.
This abuse went on for nearly a decade, according to the indictment. Prosecutors say that Ray subjected at least seven victims to fake “therapy sessions” in order to learn “intimate details about their private lives, vulnerabilities and mental health struggles”; extracted false confessions from them and used those confessions to extort them; alienated them from their families; inflicted brutal punishments on them; and laundered about $1 million from them.
