Jury begins deliberations in trial of Lawrence Ray, father accused of sex trafficking and forced labor at Sarah Lawrence College

A jury began has begun deliberating in the trial of Lawrence Ray, an ex-convict accused of moving into his daughter's dorm at Sarah Lawrence College and manipulating her friends into a cult-like devotion to get free labor and millions of dollars. The trial was interrupted twice so Ray could go to a hospital.

Federal prosecutors said Ray started by charming his young victims, then turned to physical abuse and psychological torment to extort money, sex and other favors.

He tricked some into believing they had poisoned him, prosecutors said. One woman testified she was coerced into prostitution.
