Lawrence Ray, who sexually, psychologically and emotionally manipulated his daughter's classmates at Sarah Lawrence College, was sentenced Friday to 60 years in prison.
United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman announces the indictment against Lawrence Ray aka"Lawrence Grecco", Feb. 11, 2020 in New York City.at Sarah Lawrence College, was sentenced Friday to six decades in prison by a federal judge in Manhattan, who called Ray's conduct "sadism, pure and simple."
Ray held so-called therapy sessions with Sarah Lawrence College students after he moved into his daughter's on-campus housing in 2010. Ray moved in after he was released from a prison sentence for security fraud. He moved into a one-bedroom apartment with several of the roommates on Manhattan's Upper East Side in 2011.
Ray, seated at the defense table in wrinkled, beige prison garb, looked on without visible expression as the friend of one victim, Claudia Drury, read a statement that described the "unremitting sadistic torture" Drury endured. Another victim, Daniel Levin, said Ray tortured him and his friends and told the judge how Ray brandished a knife over him while instructing another to line the bathtub with plastic to catch the blood and how Ray hit him with a sledgehammer while pulling his tongue with pliers.
"He took 10 years of my life away from me," Rosario said. "All I know is I wish I had never met him."
