Where Is Larry Ray Now? What to Know About the Sarah Lawrence Sex Cult Leader’s Life in Prison
Published By admin
When the Sarah Lawrence sex cult leader was convicted in April 2022, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams had a clear message: “Larry Ray is a predator. An evil man who did evil things.”
Lawrence “Larry” Ray was convicted of 15 criminal counts — with charges including sex trafficking, extortion and racketeering conspiracy — after moving into his daughter’s dorm at Sarah Lawrence College and psychologically, physically and sexually abusing several of her classmates and other acquaintances for nearly 10 years and in three different states. Larry reportedly forced some of his victims into prostitution, threatened to dismember another and recorded coerced and false confessions from each, admitting to crimes and offenses they never committed.
In January 2023, Larry was sentenced to 60 years in prison — per the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York — with the judge in the case applauding Larry’s victims’ courage to face their abuser in court. Additionally, that November, two former students filed a lawsuit against the college for not protecting them against Larry, whom they alleged had “emotionally, physically and sexually” abused them, according to The New York Times.
The story of Larry’s reign of terror was first reported by The Cut, sparking a police investigation into the allegations against him. Since his arrest and conviction, the cult has been the subject of Law & Crime’s Devil in the Dorm podcast, the 2023 Hulu docuseries Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence and 2024 doc Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story.
