Lawrence
College, a sophomore named Talia

arrived at the dorm, a communal house called Slonim Woods 9, and stayed for the whole year. Over the course of innumerable counseling sessions and 'family meetings,' the intense and forceful

convinced his daughter's friends that he alone could help them 'achieve clarity.' Eventually,

and the students moved into a small Manhattan apartment, beginning years of manipulation and abuse, as
Ray
tightened his control over his young charges through blackmail, extortion, and ritualized humiliation. Daniel Barban Levin was one of the original residents of Slonim Woods 9.
Ray
coached Daniel through a difficult break-up, slowly drawing him into his web. After two years of escalating psychological, physical, and sexual abuse, Daniel found the strength to escape from
