DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: Westchester Sex Cult Client List Accidentally Released
The trial of accused human trafficker Lawrence Grecco is already sending shock waves through high society in New York after the Department of Justice accidentally released a client list for what prosecutors say was a prolific sex slave ring started in the dorm room of Sarah Lawrence College.
Grecco, aka Larry Ray, is accused by federal prosecutors of sex trafficking, forced labor and extortion that occurred in New York and North Carolina over a ten-year period, beginning in 2010.
Federal authorities said the man targeted his daughter's friends and subjected them to physical abuse and sexual and psychological manipulation.
Ray lived with some of the victims in his daughter's Sarah Lawrence dormitory and afterwards in an Upper East Side apartment and in North Carolina.
He used physical and psychological threats and coercion to indoctrinate and exploit the college students, according to federal investigators.
Prosecutors said he extorted nearly $1 million from five of the victims, forced them to perform unpaid labor through force, fraud and coercion. He is also accused of coercing at least one victim to engage in prostitution.
