Accused Sarah Lawrence Sex Cult Dad Suffers Seizure Amid Trial
Lawrence Ray was rushed out of the courthouse on a stretcher on Tuesday.
Southern District of New York
Accused sex cult leader Lawrence Ray was rushed out of a courthouse on a stretcher on Tuesday, hours after his lawyers said the 62-year-old had “suffered a seizure.” Defense attorney Marne Lenox initially said that Ray did not need to be hospitalized but his symptoms required a two-hour delay in his high-profile sex-crimes trial in Manhattan federal court. By Tuesday afternoon, however, it appeared Ray’s symptoms had worsened and he was seen being carted out of the courthouse by two FDNY medics. Photos taken by the New York Post showed him in an oxygen mask. Ray has pleaded not guilty to several charges for allegedly starting a sex cult out of his daughter’s Sarah Lawrence College dorm in 2010, and running it for nearly a decade under the guise of “therapy sessions.” Prosecutors allege that he physically, sexually, and psychologically abused several college students.
