Judge Has No Mercy for ‘Evil’ Sex Cult Leader Larry Ray’s Pathetic Pity Party
After several former Sarah Lawrence college students gave harrowing accounts Friday of how 63-year-old Lawrence “Larry” Ray moved into their sophomore dorm room in 2010 and fomented conditions that amounted to an abusive sex cult, Ray indicated he wanted to speak.
Struggling to get up from a chair in a beige prison jumpsuit, Ray looked straight at federal Judge Lewis J. Liman as he described how “hard” the last three years in jail have been for him—how he cannot sleep because of a mysterious illness, how he deserves sympathy because the only three relatives he was still in touch with died while he was incarcerated.
“I lost my father, my stepfather, and my stepmother all in one week. They are gone,” Ray said while choking up. “I didn't get to say goodbye.”
