<p>But somehow the government posted the &#8216;sealed&#8217; document online and then immediately scrambled to stop the information getting out. &#8216;Per order of the Court, government exhibit #3217 (GX 3217) was admitted under seal,&#8217; a spokesman for the Department of Justice wrote in an email soon after the document was taken offline. <br>&#8216;This file was inadvertently loaded to the U.S. v.

<p>On one occasion, she recalled, Ray showed her a photograph of friend and fellow student Levin. <br>She explained: &#8216;[Ray] told me that he was having a confrontation or conversation with Dan about Dan&#8217;s sexuality and that in the course of this Isabella was folding laundry and Dan kept eyeing a dress. <br>&#8216;Larry asked Dan, &#8220;Do you want to wear the dress?&#8221; He told me Dan really did and so he made Dan put on the dress and go down to get mail wearing the dress.&#8217; <br>On his return to the Upper East Side apartment in which the students and Ray were, for the most part, living, Drury said the confrontation &#8216;escalated.&#8217; ;<br>&#8216;From there it escalated to Larry telling Isabella to go get her bag of sex toys and dildos and to get the biggest one, and he [Ray] showed me a picture of Dan trying to fit it in his mouth,&#8217; she added. ;</p>

<p>&#8216;This was all framed as something Dan wanted – that was helpful and clarifying for Dan.&#8217; <br>But according to Drury, Levin&#8217;s face was &#8216;contorted&#8217; in the photograph in which he was looking directly at the camera.<br>She said: &#8216;He looks panicked and questioning and scared. It&#8217;s not a look I&#8217;ve actually ever seen on anyone&#8217;s face again.&#8217;</p>

<p>During another incident recalled by Drury in court, Ray made a &#8216;noose&#8217; out of tinfoil and had Levin place it round his testicles while he interrogated him – tightening the noose whenever he deemed the younger man to be &#8216;playing with the truth.&#8217; <br>She went on to tell the court how the campaign of control escalated during the summer of 2013, when she and several others travelled to Pinehurst, North Carolina, to help with yardwork at Ray&#8217;s stepfather&#8217;s property. ;<br>At this point, she said, Ray was controlling what students ate – forbidding carbohydrates – and forcing them to work sometimes until three or four in the morning to re-do mistakes that he found in their work. ;<br>&#8216;Someone went out and got hamburgers and fries and milkshakes. [Ray] said, &#8220;This is your last meal, Felicia. You can have carbs; you can have whatever you want,&#8221;&#8216; she told the court.<br>Earlier in the trial, prosecutors said Ray held sway over the college students, forcing some of them into prostitution and making others wear diapers as punishment. ;</p>

<p>Assistant US Attorney Lindsey Keenan began her opening statement last week with a description of a gruesome October 2018 alleged attack.<br>Keenan said Ray and his &#8216;trusted lieutenant&#8217; found the victim they had &#8216;forced into a life of prostitution&#8217; at a hotel, where Ray tortured her for hours to make sure she&#8217;d continue her sex work. ;<br>The prosecutor said Ray used &#8216;violence, fear, sex and manipulation&#8217; to gain sex, power and money. ;<br>Ray&#8217;s lawyer told the jury that Ray committed no federal crimes as he encircled himself with college-age &#8216;storytellers&#8217; who claimed to have poisoned him and arranged to have him physically attacked. <br>&#8216;You&#8217;ll see that Larry Ray is not guilty,&#8217; attorney Allegra Glashausser said.</p>
