Man Sentenced to 60 Years in Prison for Extortion and Trafficking Women at Elite College

Larry Ray, a 63-year-old New York man, was sentenced to 60 years in prison on Friday after being convicted of extortion, racketeering, conspiracy, forced labor and sex trafficking of women he met at his daughter's on-campus housing at Sarah Lawrence College. Judge Lewis J. Liman described Ray's crimes as "particularly heinous," noting that he had taken advantage of the students' vulnerability and trust in him as a father figure. Ray's sentence serves as a warning to those who would seek to exploit vulnerable people and highlights the importance of providing support and resources to potential victims of abuse.
