Introducing: Devil in the Dorm
30 January 2023 - 5 minsIn late 2010, a middle-aged man moved into his daughter's college dorm and created what has all the hallmarks of a cult. Over the decade that followed, he extorted millions of dollars from vulnerable young adults through violence, psychological torture, and forced sex work.
Actress and Director Elisabeth Rohm narrates Law&Crime's 6-part investigative series, which draws from thousands of pages of transcripts, exhibits, audio files, and video recordings from a federal trial and explores the actions and motives of Larry Ray. This is Law&Crime’s Devil in the Dorm.

373: Ellie Nesler
On the morning of the 2nd of April, 1993, the Jamestown Justice Court was in session. The man in the dock was charged with seven counts of lewd conduct with children. In the hallway outside, the mother of one of his victims sat waiting. Before the morning was over, what happened inside that courthouse would make headlines across the world, and ignite a debate about justice, vengeance, and how far a parent can go before the law stops seeing them as a victim.

368: Hailey Owens
It was the 18th of February, 2014, and on West Lombard Street in Springfield, Missouri, a man was raking leaves in his front yard. Then a little girl came around the corner. She had her phone in hand, stopping now and then to snap a selfie. That was when the truck appeared - a gold pickup, moving slowly down the street, back and forth, past the same houses, past the same yards, in no hurry, going nowhere, just watching and waiting. And then it stopped. SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement.
