SDNY, April 26 –
Three victims of Larry Ray,
the father who moved into his
daughter Talia's Sarah
Lawrence College dorm and
started a sex cult, filed a
lawsuit against Sarah Lawrence
Colleg, assigned to Judge
Lewis Liman on the afternoon
of November 22, 2023.
It was
filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, where
Inner City Press which
published a book about the
Larry Ray trial found it.
Complaint on Patreon here
In
the suit, Daniel E. Levin,
Santos J. Rosario and Felicia
Rosario accuse Sarah Lawrence
College, Lee Chen and
Gumley-Heft LCC (owner and
manager of the East 93rd
Street condo where the sex
cult moved) and Scott Muller
(into whose house Ray moved
Felicia Rosario). of violating
the Trafficking Victims
Protection Act.
The
complaint largely tracks what
came out at trial. It is
notable that Claudia Drury is
not a plaintiff - and that
Talia Ray is not a defendant.
On January 29,
2024, Sarah Lawrence College
moved to dismiss, arguing that
the Adult Survivors Act does
not revive plaintiffs' time
barred claims, and that the
College "did not have
knowledge of sex or labor
trafficking." Why not?
On February 5,
Sarah Lawrence College's
lawyer wrote in to request a
stay of the February 15
conference. Judge Liman denied
the request - "The Court will
no defer the conference" - and
said if a stay of discovery is
sought, a motion asking for it
should be filed.
It was - and it
was granted: "GRANTED. All
discovery is stayed pending
the Court's decision on the
motion to dismiss."
On April 26, the
plaintiffs submitted their
opposition to the motion to
dismiss, arguing that
Gumley-Haft knowingly benefits
and show have known of TVPRA
violations."
The case is
Levin, et al., v. Sarah
Lawrence College, et al.,
23-cv-10236 (Liman)
