A local college dorm turned into a den of anguish and despair, a group of young students forever changed as big dreams changed into a living nightmare.

How did a seemingly ordinary college dorm become the stage for a nightmare controlled by one man - Larry Ray?

Watch "Sex, Lies & Terror: The Larry Ray Tapes" on YouTube:

News 12's Senior Reporter Tara Rosenblum delves into the mind of Ray, speaking to him for hours over many phone calls from prison. The conversations were the first time he spoke publicly since a judge sentenced him to 60 years for sex trafficking, extortion, conspiracy and other charges in April 2022.

Rosenblum also spoke to officials, lawyers - and journalists who initially covered the case - to get further insight into the events that took place and intricacies of what conspired.

It's a chilling story about power, control and manipulation at the hands of one local dad. "Sex, Lies & Terror: Sarah Lawrence" on News 12.
