“He tortured those kids.... It’s difficult for many people to understand how he could do this. But I think people like me… people he conned and betrayed, we understand,' Bernard Kerik told The Daily Beast
“Larry Ray is a predator. An evil man who did evil things. Today’s verdict finally brings him to justice,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement after Ray was convicted by a federal jury on Wednesday.
“This [conviction] is the only good thing that’s come out of this trial,” Kerik told The Daily Beast on Wednesday following the verdict. “He tortured those kids.... It’s difficult for many people to understand how he could do this. But I think people like me… people he conned and betrayed, we understand.”
Several victims, and the defense, told jurors that the Sarah Lawrence kids believed Kerik had directed some of them to plot against Ray and even poison him. Kerik previously told The Daily Beast the claims make no sense considering he was in prison from 2010 to 2014. and a blunder by the prosecution’s office that revealed a list of 121 alleged sex-work clients ensnared in the saga.
