#424: Stolen Youth - Inside the Cult at ...

Real Crime Profile / Wondery
About this episode

In 2010, on the small woodsy campus of Sarah Lawrence College located in Yonkers, New York, 50 year old Lawrence Ray came to “crash” with his daughter Talia in her on-campus dorm town-house that she shared with several other students, ostensibly until he found a place to live after his recent release from prison. That fateful “visit” turned into a twisted decade long odyssey of abuse and coercive control that would nearly ruin the lives of several young people including Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Using the framework of Hulu’s extraordinary docs-series “Stolen Youth” we examine who these victims were, how they were lured into Larry’s web and how he was able to torture and traumatize them for so long. It is a cautionary tale that everyone needs to learn from. This is not about a “Sarah Lawrence sex cult", (in fact Laura and Jim debate whether this is a cult at all)...this is about unmasking a master manipulator capable of fooling everyone he came into contact with…including the FBI.
