Accused Sarah Lawrence College sex-trafficker is taken to hospital; list of witness's prostitution clients is accidentally revealed in court
CBSN
A woman who says she was forced to prostitute herself to pay an ex-convict $2.5 million and gain relief from his claims that she'd poisoned him was testifying at his trial Tuesday when he became so ill that he was taken to a hospital. The ambulance trip was the second time in a week that the trial of Lawrence "Larry" Ray was interrupted so he could go to a hospital.
And it came on a day when prosecutors were left scrambling to discourage publication of a list of their prize witness's prostitution clients after the names were accidentally put in the court file. They said the list was supposed to be sealed.
Ray, 62, has been incarcerated since his early 2020 arrest on extortion and sex trafficking charges that allege he exploited for a decade several college students who were roommates of his daughter to obtain money, power and sex for himself.

Now, a billionaire from Ohio wants to make his own attempt – an idea he had just days after the Titan met its fatal end.
