A former convict from New Jersey has been charged with targeting his daughter’s friends at Sarah Lawrence College for indoctrination and exploitation, engaging in sex trafficking, extortion and forced labor, according to an indictment released on Tuesday.

Shortly after the man, Lawrence V. Ray, left prison about a decade ago, he moved into his daughter’s dormitory at the elite college in Yonkers, N.Y., and began manipulating her friends and others, the indictment said. Over the course of nearly a decade, Mr. Ray “subjected his victims to sexual and psychological manipulation and physical abuse.”

He is accused of extorting money and unpaid labor from several young adults who came under his sway and had at least one engage in prostitution for his financial benefit. The extortion came after he extracted false confessions from his victims, through tactics like sleep deprivation, psychological and sexual humiliation, verbal abuse, physical violence and threats of legal action, the indictment charged.

Mr. Ray, 60, was also accused of laundering about $1 million he obtained from his victims, the indictment said. He was arrested on Tuesday morning at his home in Piscataway, N.J.
