The father of a former Sarah Lawrence College student has been charged with sex-trafficking her classmates, according to a federal indictment released Tuesday.

Lawrence Ray, also known as Lawrence Grecco, allegedly physically, sexually, and psychologically abused his victims starting in 2010, when he moved into his daughter's on-campus residence in Yonkers, New York, after being released from prison.

The 60-year-old Brooklyn native faces a slew of charges, including extortion, sex trafficking, forced labor, and money laundering.

He was arrested Tuesday morning at his home in Piscataway, New Jersey, a spokesperson for the US Attorney's office told BuzzFeed News.

Ray's alleged sex trafficking cult was the subject of a New York magazine story in 2019 titled "The Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence."

In a statement issued Tuesday, officials at Sarah Lawrence College said they launched an investigation into the allegations detailed in the 2019 article, but that "the investigation did not substantiate those specific claims."

School officials said they have not been contacted by investigators concerning the charges as of Tuesday.

"As always the safety and well-being of our students and alumni is a priority for the College," the statement reads. "We have not been contacted by the Southern District of New York, but will of course cooperate in their investigation to the full extent of the law if invited to do so."
